Before Charles came to Mission Possible, he had taken a break from work to focus on his recovery. When he was feeling ready, a Mission Possible team doing graffiti removal piqued his interest. As a member of the Clean Team, Charles appreciated the chance to contribute and be a part of a team. One of Charles’ ambitious goals was to obtain a full driver’s license. This fall, Charles will celebrate two years as a permanent employee of MP Maintenance. Charles now drives an MP vehicle every day, leading crews to their different work locations throughout the city of Vancouver. Charles and his team are in need of a replacement pick-up truck in order to meet a growing demand for our services. Will you help us step into a greener future at Mission Possible?

Empowerment Through Opportunity
About us
Mission Possible is a community economic development agency in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, founded in 1992. Mission Possible addresses barriers to employment by providing supportive, transitional employment for those who are ready to enter, or re-enter, the workforce. For those overcoming homelessness, poverty, addiction, incarceration, and physical and/or mental disability, it can be difficult to build a sustainable livelihood. Through its Employment Readiness Program and two social enterprises, Mission Possible transforms lives by helping people experience a renewed sense of dignity and purpose through meaningful work. Mission Possible currently runs two social enterprises, MP Maintenance and MP Neighbours, that employ an average of 90 individuals per year in transitional jobs. Our work can be summed up in the phrase “Empowerment Through Opportunity”.

We need your help to replace an aging gas-powered vehicle on our fleet! 🛻 Last summer, we were able to add our first electric vehicle to our fleet thanks to our incredible community of supporters like yourself! ⚡With interest in our Employment Readiness Program increasing by 40% last year, a new electric vehicle is crucial for us to meet the growing demands for our services, and continue our commitment to reducing our impact on the environment! Big thanks to Taseko Mines Limited for kick-starting this campaign! Thanks to their kindness, we’re already 25% of the way to our $40,000 goal. Will you join them in updating our fleet in a sustainable way this summer so that we can meet this growing demand? https://lnkd.in/g_KtAsyx

When Noah first arrived at Mission Possible, it had been over a decade since he'd been employed. Noah once had a thriving career in computer technology, but when he began using substances and drinking excessively, it was impossible to keep a job. It took Noah two tries to find his footing at Mission Possible. After his first try, he quickly realized he needed more time to work on himself to be ready to fully engage, and returned to MP with a different outlook the second time. Feeling supported and more confident, he was ready to apply for permanent work opportunities outside of MP. His coach recommended he consider a groundskeeper position with one of Mission Possible’s Impact Employers, 2400 Motel, and before long he started his new role as the iconic building's full-time groundskeeper. Noah exemplifies the tenacity it takes to overcome barriers and return to work, and we are thrilled to continue to watch him create a sustainable livelihood for himself. You can read more about Noah's story via our website and also learn more about MP's impact in our Annual Report! https://lnkd.in/g2X_Z4-e 📸 Ravi Rane, MBA
