Surge Energy – Empowering Youth Through Opportunity at Wood’s Homes

A modern office space featuring multiple desks with computers, decorative wall shelves, and a cozy atmosphere.Surge Energy has extended its commitment to community well-being by partnering with Wood’s Homes to rejuvenate the Inglewood Opportunity Hub, home to the LEAD youth and young adult employment program. This generous contribution has transformed the office and meeting spaces into an enhanced therapeutic environment designed to foster trust, safety, and productivity.

The renovations include a centralized Learning and Certification Lab where client’s complete essential employment certifications and are surrounded by counsellors who provide support and encouragement every step of the way. A separate meeting space has also been expanded to accommodate resume development and interview preparation, ensuring clients have the tools they need to succeed.

Surge Energy’s generosity will help transform lives by enhancing clients’ ability to secure and maintain employment within the community. As Janet Stewart, Director of the Inglewood Opportunity Hub, shared: “With the generous donation from Surge Energy, the office and meeting spaces of our youth and young adult employment program, LEAD, has been rejuvenated!”

“The renovations have provided our staff and clients with a more therapeutic environment that fosters felt safety and promotes the learning and productivity of everyone that uses the space.”
