Adventure4Change is a registered Canadian charity organization that addresses issues related to poverty and inequity for children, youth, and families. Using an asset-based approach to development, all efforts are directed by local leadership and community residents. Adventure4Change believes that change comes about as individuals and communities are enabled to take greater responsibility. Success is measured by how prepared and equipped people are to live lives characterized by vitality and contribution. The Genesis Program offers youth who express a need for employment the opportunity to interview for a variety of jobs. There are currently 22 youth ready to be connected to summer employment.
