The HIRE (Helping individuals reintegrate effectively)  program is changing the lives of young individuals who were once entangled in addictions, gangs, and correctional facilities.

“The age group is focused on ages 13 to 24 and primarily for Indigenous youth,” said Aaron Desjarlais the program manager.

 “We take guys coming from different walks of life … we have guys coming out of corrections, we have guys that are just looking for what to do moving forward in their lives,” said Robert Leyte, the employment supervisor for the HIRE program. “We go to the shop and make some really cool stuff and sell it on our Facebook page to continue funding our program.”

Colby Worm, from Kawacatoose First Nation, was a client of the HIRE program.
