VISSION
Beneficiaries The beneficiaries of this program are clients, as we offer meaningful mentorship combined with mainstream services in a safe and culturally relevant, community environment.
Our clients are inclusive of young women ages 14 – 30 years old.
The non-profit sector is experiencing many changes.
The nature of grants has changed in distribution, growing challenging for grassroots organizations to access and maintain core and sustainable funding on a consistent basis.
Funding organizations are consistently asking non-profit organizations to develop innovative program models that also consider fundraising and revenue-generating models.
Yet, there are opportunities, as some organizations are now adopting social enterprising models within their core structure, which creates the opportunity to maintain the integrity of non-profits while adding revenue (fundraising) generating models.
HTCO’s program structure is built on youth-centred co-creation and innovation.
Services must be of interest to youth populations, if not resources are wasted.
In an effort to engage with young women in a meaningful and relevant way, Heritage Nail Essentials' vision is to do two things: build long-term relationships with young girls in the local community, provide informal counselling and mentorship that encourages positive self-image, and healthy self-confidence while demonstrating self-sustainability and entrepreneurship
