Starbucks Opportunity Youth Initiative

The City of Calgary Youth Employment Centre (YEC) is partnering with Starbucks to take real action and provide meaningful employment opportunities for Calgary youth. As one of the country's leading employers for young people, the company is taking a leadership position by committing 10 per cent of its new store hires to Opportunity Youth, who are young people ages 16-29 who are not working, in education or training and who face barriers to employment. The commitment supports motivated young people who have a strong desire to work, but require support in finding pathways to opportunity. Starbucks and YEC have formed a partnership to help deliver this goal and support the initiative. YEC is committed to helping youth between the ages of 16-24 years old get connected to this opportunity.

Beyond employment, further opportunities are created by providing part-time employees with "full time" benefits. Partners (employees) who work a minimum of 20 hours a week receive medical and dental benefits, $5,000/year in mental health support, tuition reimbursements, stocks and future savings along with career and personal support services. With the average age of Starbucks partners being 24, the company is committed to offering employment conditions that provide young people with the early support they need to be successful.

How to apply:
