It’s a dream come true for Niagara Peninsula Homes. One that has been in the works for several years - a space to call their own that will be the non-profit’s headquarters and home base for many of its programs. The two-year project came to an end when it celebrated the grand opening of its Community Resource Centre on Sept. 18. That day, they showed off the product of their hard work to restore and convert the old grocery warehouse on Victoria Street.
For James Zarb, it’s about becoming self-sufficient. The 19-year-old Welland man is employed full-time, has the training to do the work he loves, and has built a savings plan to reach his goals of eventually being able to have a car and a home of his own. It’s a big step from where he was last year.
A Welland-based non-profit that empowers youth by giving them a big leap forward in the world of skilled construction trades has received a half-million-dollar boost from the federal government to continue doing so. Niagara Peninsula Homes Inc. is receiving an investment for its project to help 24 Niagara youths gain experience necessary to make a successful transition to the job market or return to school.
Teenage moms are often too busy overcoming their own challenges to help others. But 18-year-old Melissa Walls — the proud mother of two-year-old Ryleigh — is not only earning her high school diploma at the Pope Francis Centre, she is helping other young mothers to do the same. And at the same time, she volunteers to prepare food for people in need.
