My friend and I went yesterday to visit a group called DESTA. Basically, it’s a non-for-profit organization aimed at helping black youth aged 18-25. What is interesting is that they are really about self development. For example, they give courses for the youth that need to finish their Sec. 5 (High School) diploma. They also have CV clinics or other job seeking support. I liked how they worked and the atmosphere I felt over there. We, at the Project, will hopefully be working with them in order to promote microcredit but we’ll also probably help them in any other way we can.
I encourage anyone from Montreal (or anywhere, really) to check out their website destanetwork.ca. I’ll be posting a longer profile later this week on the Project’s blog.
