HoMie is a Melbourne-based streetwear label and social enterprise. 100% of HoMie’s profits go towards achieving its mission: to support young people affected by homelessness or hardship. All profits fund two programs: the HoMie Pathway Alliance, HoMie’s own accredited retail education and employment program for young people, and VIP Days, where young people are welcomed into their store to shop for free, while enjoying haircuts, beauty services, personal care packs, and lunch with the HoMie team.
Since 2015, HoMie has supported over 2,550 young people, donated over 12,000 clothing items, and provided significant employment and educational opportunities. They are also committed to ethical production and recycling initiatives.
We spoke to HoMie ambassador Everlyn and asked her a few questions.
What does 'Pushing Forward' mean to you?
Pushing forward is best done together. To push forward is to lift each other up, even in small everyday interactions with the people around us. I push forward by loving people wholeheartedly through difficult times and supporting the women around me to reach their goals.
What keeps you motivated to continue pushing forward for the causes that matter to you?
As an ambassador for HoMie, Youth Homelessness matters to me and I'm motivated by my family, friends and community. We can't solve these big problems alone, and we need to keep boosting each other up and supporting each other to keep pushing forward!
How can we support each other better as a community to push forward for change?
Keeping that mindset that we are all on the same team. We can do so much if we work together.
How can we get more young people involved in pushing forward for change?
Helping young people to realise that they CAN make a difference. Whether it's supporting social enterprise, talking to the people in your life or advocating in different spaces, young people can create change!
What makes collective action so powerful for Generation SG?
Generation Sportsgirl can be their true self. At SG you can be yourself so wholeheartedly and everyone's differences are celebrated.
