The Up Shoppe is a social enterprise program of the North End Women’s Centre. This “little shop with a big heart!” builds pre-employment skills in local women and non-binary folks while also revitalizing Selkirk Avenue. The sales revenues are used for programs that help women & non-binary folks on their path of change.

E-WAGES

PROGRAM

NEWC’S Emergency Wage Program, especially designed to empower women and gender diverse people, is a powerful tool for addressing immediate economic needs while simultaneously fostering long-term independence and equality.  This program typically provides financial support to women and gender diverse people in times of need.

When women and gender diverse people have access to such emergency programs, they’re not just surviving, they are being empowered.  Empowerment, in this case, means giving women and gender diverse people the resources they need to make choices, sustain their independence, and control their own futures.  Offering them a safety net not only alleviates immediate hardship but also signals a commitment to gender equality and a recognition of the unique challenges that women and gender diverse people face. 

An emergency wage program that prioritizes women and gender diverse people’s  needs is an acknowledgment of their worth, their potential, and their right to self-determination.
