McDonald’s locations in Guelph, Fergus, and Elora aim to create a workplace where people feel valued and empowered, not only to thrive at work, but to contribute meaningfully to the communities they’re part of. Through a long-standing partnership with Starling Employment Services and McDonald’s and Antolin Enterprises Inc., we are helping young people overcome barriers to employment, offering jobs and pathways for growth. “People are happier when they feel part of a team,” says Kevin, Training & Development Supervisor. “That’s how real inclusion happens.” From structured training to communication and relationship building, team members gain employable skills, but something deeper: confidence, purpose, and a sense of belonging.

Human trafficking is the fastest-growing crime in Canada, and it’s happening right here in Waterloo Region. At Starling's Safe Haven Youth Services in Downtown Kitchener, we meet kids in the aftermath, when there’s nowhere else to go, no one to call. Nowhere to feel safe. But because of your support, we can say: “You’re safe now.” And we’ve seen the change: 💜The first smile in weeks 💜Eye contact again 💜A youth saying, “I think I’m ready to try” Your gift helps rewrite their story. Be the reason they believe in themselves again. Donate Now to help a youth feel safe, seen, and supported. Visit www.starlingcs.ca/support/donate

"I was different and bullied at school. When I came to Starling, I didn’t want to stay. But I learned skills to help me manage situations and my emotions. When it was time to go home, I didn’t want to leave."
