About LITE
For some, getting a job is like trying to win a race from far behind the starting line.
A family crisis. A missed bill. A record. Homelessness, an abusive relationship or an addiction. Barriers to employment come in many forms.
Local Investment Toward Employment is a targeted, local Winnipeg foundation. Alongside our partner organizations, and thanks to the charity of our donors, LITE creates job experiences for people struggling against barriers to employment. With more opportunity for positive job experiences, lives and communities improve.
