United World Voices (UWV) is dedicated to the relief of poverty through programs involving community-based education conflict resolution and life and livelihood skills development and mentoring programs. UWV continues to build awareness with potential donors developing relationships with potential target communities and local partner organizations. Activities in 2024 expanded with UWV programs continuing to be refined to focus on needs for youth coaching and mentoring for individual self-sufficiency building on the success of the ArtWorks program. Together with key partners such as The Ottawa Mission UWV expanded its youth coaching work to support the development of job skills interviewing skills and understanding of personal value. Youth were supported with introductions to potential employers as well as guidance on post-hiring employment best practices to grow their value to employers. In 2024 these activities enabled youth to secure permanent part-time employment developing self-confidence and a sustainable income base. These successes as well as the broader ArtWorks program continued to be promoted to grow community awareness for sustainable support. One part-time resource supported the organization throughout the year providing supports to youth conducting administrative activities and building awareness.
