This week, we’re learning about budgeting, earning money, and understanding the value of money. These skills help to build an appreciation for how businesses operate and the value they expect from their employees, setting our apprentices up to become more confident, independent employees and members of the community. 💸🪎

And of course, we’re making it fun every step of the way! 🤗

In just one day in Melly’s Summer Program, our teens are learning, practicing, and experiencing so many new skills and opportunities - just like mastering how to tie the knot in their aprons! 🪢

Every day is a chance to build confidence and develop skills that support greater independence at home, at school, in the workplace, and in their community.

Melly’s is a launchpad…

After dedicating 200+ hours towards building workplace skills, it’s only just the beginning. It’s the start of community, friendship, independence, education opportunities, volunteering, job opportunities and more.

It’s the start of inclusion in all facets of community life.

With the right support, anyone can find their place in the world of work.

We’ve had so many new visitors to our page since sharing our Port Hope news, and we just want to say thank you! 💛

With lots of new faces here, we wanted to share this video again and introduce our S.T.E.P Forward for Teens Summer Program.

We are currently accepting applications for our Port Hope summer location, and we also have a few openings remaining in Whitby.

This program is for youth and young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities who are interested in building confidence, learning workplace skills, and gaining meaningful work experience.

If you know someone who may be interested, please share this with them or visit the link in our bio to learn more and apply.

We’re so excited to bring this program to Port Hope this summer!

We’re so excited to share that Melly’s is launching STEP Forward for Teens in Port Hope this summer! 🎉

This summer, we’ll be training right downtown at 102 Walton Street, where participants will build real workplace skills, confidence, and hands-on experience.

We’ve also partnered with HopeTowns Initiative through their cafe - The Main to offer incredible work experience opportunities throughout Port Hope. That means participants will not only learn in our training space, but also get to apply those skills inside amazing local businesses and community spaces.

STEP Forward for Teens is designed for youth and young adults ages 16–25 with intellectual and developmental disabilities who are interested in gaining work experience and exploring pathways to employment.

Applications are open now, and the program will be starting very soon!

If you’re interested, or know someone who may be a great fit, please click the link in our bio to learn more and apply.

We’re so grateful and excited to join the Port Hope community this summer. 💛

Please share to help us reach families who may be looking for this opportunity.
