GIVING BACK
Valley to Peak gives back to you, our local community, and our global community.
Supporting Local
​
Valley to Peak owner Catharine spends every day out in the heart of our community, and as such she is always discovering deserving and under-funded causes to support. This is why she believes in a model of 'new year, new charity' to spread the love and wealth across our city. Every year a percentage of profits is donated to a different local charity.
​
​For 2025 Valley to Peak is proud to start supporting both a Calgary charity AND an Edmonton charity!
In Calgary we will be supporting Urban Society for Aboriginal Youth (USAY). Combining social innovation and traditional Indigenous culture results in unique programs that meet Indigenous youth ‘where they’re at’ while encouraging positive identity and sense of self. Programs include STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics), school lunches, Medicine Wheel Warriors, Pride, Blackfoot Graphic Novels, and AR/VR (augmented/virtual reality) to learn about Sacred Teachings and life skills. ​​​​​​
In Edmonton we are supporting Inner City Youth Development Association, which provides "life-changing opportunities to Edmonton’s marginalized Indigenous and other urban youth, allowing them to leave the desperation of the street and build more productive lives". Their Youth Engagement Program reaches youth at the street level, providing needed support that bridges them to an eventual high school diploma. Their unique approach allows them to work with youth in a more holistic way, assisting them in creating their path towards their goals and a brighter future.
