CATCH THE FIRE TORONTO

Catch the Fire Toronto provides job training and employment support to people experiencing poverty and homelessness across the city. The organization runs skills-based programs in areas like food service, construction, and hospitality, paired with life coaching and mental health support to address barriers to employment. Participants receive hands-on training in actual work environments, earning wages while they learn. Beyond job placement, Catch the Fire Toronto connects people with housing resources, addiction support, and ongoing mentorship to help them build stable lives. The charity works with individuals who face significant obstacles to traditional employment, including those with criminal records, mental health challenges, and gaps in work history, helping them transition from survival mode into meaningful employment and financial independence.
