Update on SYJA (Street Youth Job Action)

SYJA continues to seek alternate funding. We've been busy gathering letters of support from all our contract partners and will be delivering them to our MLA this Friday at his request to advocate on our behalf.

(And thanks Gadget, your letter of support is also included)

We've been talking with various organizations in Vancouver to secure bridging dollars...hopefully we will see postive outcomes before too long!

As many of you are aware our funding ends August 31st. Family Services of Greater Vancouver has extended my contract to the end of September to allow more time to secure funding and keep the contracts rolling all the way into September...so we're not done yet!!

In the months of June and July SYJA provided 552 jobs...we've just expanded our contract with the Davie Village BIA who has been a huge supporter of SYJA, we also found a renewed partnership with the DVBIA who was one of the key players involved in the start-up of SYJA 10 years ago...

We will keep you posted on any new developments over the next few weeks!

Cheers!

Travis (SYJA)
