Meet Emily

Moving from school to work can be difficult for young people

experiencing disadvantage.

Life challenges led Emily to leave school early. She became

homeless and was out of work. “It was pretty horrible, but I tried

to stay positive. I knew it wasn’t going to be forever,” Emily says.

Thanks to the Brotherhood’s Transition to Work program, Emily

was given a six-month paid internship with social enterprise

clothing store, HoMie. “I was absolutely over the moon! They

are teaching me, and help and support me.”

Emily is getting work experience, she has her confidence back

and is enrolled in a social work course.
