Helping Black & Indigenous youth launch stable careers in trucking.

At Highway to Hope, we empower Black & Indigenous youth from underserved communities across the Greater Toronto Area to overcome barriers and build stable careers in trucking.
Founded by those who know firsthand the challenges of growing up in underserved neighbourhoods, Highway to Hope was created to provide the opportunities we wished we had.
Through our Drive & Thrive program, participants receive more than CDL training. We cover transportation, safety gear, and licensing costs, while also providing mentorship, financial literacy, and career coaching.
Our mission is to prepare youth not only for trucking careers but for independence, stability, and a future filled with opportunity.
For many Black and Indigenous youth in the Greater Toronto Area, the future feels uncertain. Barriers such as limited access to training, financial pressure, and a lack of mentorship leave too many young people without a clear path forward.
At Highway to Hope, we change that story. Through our Drive & Thrive program, participants gain CDL training, mentorship, and financial literacy support. These practical tools transform uncertainty into stable careers and lasting independence.
At Highway to Hope, we ensure every participant has the tools to succeed. We cover transportation costs, provide safety equipment, and remove the financial stress of licensing so youth can focus fully on their future.
Our founders are licensed truck drivers who bring guidance and real-world experience into the program. Financial literacy workshops round out the support, preparing youth not only to earn a licence but to build stability and thrive in trucking and in life.
At Highway to Hope, we do more than teach youth how to drive. Alongside hands-on CDL training, our workshops build essential life and career skills.
Participants learn financial literacy, credit management, and career development, gaining the tools to make informed decisions and achieve long-term stability. We believe true success means being prepared both on and off the road.
Make a lasting impact by supporting Highway to Hope. Every contribution helps us continue our mission of empowering Black and Indigenous youth to build stable careers and brighter futures.
