Our Impact
Inspiring and empowering young people
JA Central Ontario Joins Brampton’s Business Community at the Brampton Board of Trade – State of the Region Event
Strengthening connections to empower youth in Brampton through financial literacy, career readiness and entrepreneurship.
Earlier this week, our President & CEO Kim Charteris, Programs Senior Director Simone Cowdery, Corporate & Community Partnerships Director Nichole Quan, and new interim Brampton Lead, Corporate & Community Partnerships, Natalie Williams, had the pleasure of attending the Brampton Board of Trade’s State of the Region event. This marks our first time attending a Brampton Board of Trade event, an exciting milestone as we deepen our engagement with the Brampton business community.
We're excited to build lasting partnerships that drive meaningful impact. Through our Boundless Potential initiative, we’re working to ensure that more youth in Brampton gain access to financial literacy, career readiness and entrepreneurship education.
A big thank you to the Brampton Board of Trade for hosting a fantastic event and to the speakers who shared their insights. We look forward to building meaningful partnerships with local businesses and community leaders to empower the next generation of changemakers in Brampton.
