Youth Employment & Education Support

At Oak & Pine Community Support Network, we believe youth need a focused plan that supports both employment and continued education. We act as a connection point between local youth, local businesses, and wage subsidy organizations.

Youth come to us looking for part-time jobs, work experience, and mentorship. Through our relationships with local business owners, we help connect youth with employment opportunities and identify wage subsidy programs that can support both the youth and the employer. Our goal is to help young people build confidence, gain real work experience, continue their education, and prepare for a stronger future.

We help employers understand and access funding that supports youth hiring and workplace training.
Youth receive mentorship, job-readiness support, and practical business and employment skills.
Our program helps young people build confidence, stay active, and remain socially connected.
Together, we create stronger employment pathways and support local business growth.
