Possibilities: Ending the cycle of poverty through the education of marginalized youth

The Possibilities mission is to provide youth access to educational programs and activities that work to end the cycle of poverty in our communities. At a national level, we have partnered with two organizations whose missions align with Possibilities: Pathways to Education Canada and United Way’s All in for Youth in Calgary. At a local level, we encourage and support our employees to engage in initiatives that align with the overarching possibilities mission in communities close to home.

We encourage employee efforts to lead and engage in various causes in their community

Symcor supports numerous charities aligned to our corporate giving strategy through fundraising activities, team building that gives back, and our volunteerism program. Our employees are also encouraged to take paid volunteer time off to give back to their local communities.

We’re incredibly grateful for Symcor’s long-standing support of Pathways to Education and the students we serve. For the past eight years, Symcor has provided essential funding for program delivery and scholarships, and its dedicated employees across Canada have championed our mission to break the cycle of poverty through education. From lending knowledge and expertise through volunteer mentorship, to strengthening our infrastructure through digital mail services, Symcor’s commitment to Pathways
