Youth Opportunities Unlimited specializes in supporting young people in their job search. We meet youth where they are at in their work-related journey, and provide support and opportunities so that all young people can reach their potential.
If you are between the ages of 15-30 and are not enrolled in education or employment full time, we can help you job search!
How it works:
Wherever you are in your job search journey, we’ll meet you there and start together. We connect you with one of our employment counsellors who will guide you through the process.
To get started, simply drop in at one of our youth centre locations, use the contact form at the bottom of this page, or call us at 519-432-1112.
Don’t forget to bring your Social Insurance Number with you!

"What YOU means to me is the ability to take someone who may be struggling with personal issues or someone who's looking for work, maybe both, and turn their life around in a small amount of time. Personally, I have made a friend and found work, all in one month! Now I work at Coca-Cola and I'm excited to see what achievements my life can bring me moving forward. Thank you YOU!" - Paul
