INTRODUCING
5 DAYS FOR THE HOMELESS
Here at the University of Alberta, our campaign focuses on supporting Youth Empowerment and Support Services (YESS), a local nonprofit working on the frontlines to provide critical support, shelter, and dignity to Edmonton’s most vulnerable populations. But 5 Days is more than a symbolic gesture. It’s a platform to drive meaningful change. Alongside the physical campaign, we host events, panels, and donation drives to deepen community engagement and inspire long-term solutions.
