The EDGE on Employment program offers youth aged 18-26 the opportunity to embark on a path of career self-discovery. Whether you choose a one-on-one track or join one of our eleven-week group programs, our team is here to support you in building essential life skills and employment skills, helping you develop a plan, and offering guidance to put it into action.

​

At Edge, we provide youth outreach, mental wellness support, hands-on employment skill-building, and job-seeking guidance. Our program, created for youth by youth, emphasizes empowerment and self-leadership. We encourage you to take charge, challenge yourself, set goals, and foster strong relationships.

​

Our space in Kentville and Windsor is designed to feel like a second home. Coffee is always brewing, and the fridge and cupboards are well-stocked.

​

Marketa Glenn, our Youth Life Navigator, will introduce you to the program, help determine if it’s the right fit for you, and assist in removing any barriers—such as childcare, transportation, or communication—that may impact your success.

​

Tess Etienne, our Mental Wellness Coordinator, provides one-on-one support to help you discover and overcome challenges in the program, at work, and in life. She also leads stress management content in our group programs.

​

Michèle LaPointe and Ben Underwood, our Learning Facilitators, lead hands-on group programs that focus on building the nine work skills employers value. Group members have a say in their learning and participate in community service projects that foster confidence and inspiration.

​

Leta Lowthers, our Job Developer, is available to help refine your resume, write cover letters, and guide you through job interview preparation. She can also assist with job search strategies, job placement, and managing relationships with employers.
