Need a compass?

Deciding what to do after high school graduation can be very overwhelming. With so many post-secondary options available, the best choice is not always evident. In response, Phelps Helps created the Compass program to support local youth discover future career and educational paths.

The Compass program is offered to English and French-speaking youth, ages 14 to 30, in the Stanstead area who are transitioning into postsecondary education, seeking employment, or looking to return to adult education. They can meet one-on-one with our program coordinator, Elizabeth Courchesne, to develop a practical, pragmatic, and realistic path to pursue personal success.

Compass participants can schedule one-on-one meetings to:

●Draft a CV and cover letter ●Research and identify jobs that would be of interest to them

●Get help applying for jobs and to practice interviewing

●Complete applications for submission to CEGEP, university or vocational training programs

●Find bursaries or scholarships for which they qualify

●And more!

Keep an eye out for local opportunities! Elizabeth often advertises local jobs, scholarships, volunteer opportunities, and other helpful and relevant information for career and educational growth through Facebook.

For more information on the Compass program or to make an appointment, please email Elizabeth Courchesne at ecourchesne@phelpshelps.ca, message us on Facebook, or call our offices at 819-704-0799.
