About us
We are a group of around 30 ambitious high school students across Toronto trying to make a difference in our community. To achieve this difference, we work in partnership with the world-renowned consulting firm Deloitte to focus on innovative solutions to uplift local businesses. As a Junior Achievement Company (JA), we take action on disruptive ideas. We bring to life pilot project ideas and evolve them into a fully functioning company. Deloitte has been a creative partner and a strong ally with JA and assisted in expanding the horizons of what high school students believe is possible.
At The Local Lift, our team works to curate never-seen-before special routes to bring vibrancy to your life. Our routes consist of hidden local gems selected to fit our themes and to allow you to explore and support small businesses and absorb the stories and journeys of those business owners. We hope you enjoy your journey to uplifting through The Local Lift.
