SMALL BUSINESS VENTURES
BC Teen Challenge has several revenue-generating small business ventures that serve as fundraisers to the operations of the organization.
While at BC Teen Challenge, students are involved working in our small business ventures. This provides the opportunity to gain work experience, develop vocational skills, and contribute back to the ministry. Our students do not receive government assistance while in the program, but instead are productive and active workers.Below features our fundraising programs that we offer to the community.
Vehicle Donation Business
BC Teen Challenge provides a no-charge, hassle-free pick up of any towable vehicle in any condition. We offer free pick-up and a tax receipt for the value of the vehicle. Many vehicles are detailed by our students and then resold, with the proceeds coming right back to BC Teen Challenge. Vehicles that are not road worthy are sold to recyclers in the local area. A significant portion of BC Teen Challenge’s operating needs can be met through this program.
Work Detail Business
The Work Detail Program provides skilled labor at competitive rates to individuals and businesses in the communities we reside. Our students work in a variety of fields including construction, landscaping, vineyards, snow removal, and moving.
