Change for Change

Turn old currency into new hope, before it's too much.

New partnership

Mental health doesn't start at crisis. Neither should support, and neither should funding for it.

Jack.org and Global Coin Solutions are launching Change for Change, a program that turns forgotten foreign coins and banknotes into direct support for programming and tools that enable prevention and wellness for youth and their circle of care.

$2 billion in foreign currency sits unused in Canadian homes and businesses. Change for Change gives that spare change a second life.

Donors simply mail their old currency to Global Coin Solutions, who convert it into funding that helps young people get help with their mental health before a crisis.

It's a simple act — spare change from a drawer — that helps build the kind of culture where every young person feels connected, supported, and empowered to care for their mental health from day one.

Supporting youth in Canada

Jack.org is a Canadian non-profit equipping youth with the knowledge, skills, and resources they need to understand and talk about mental health so they get support before it reaches a point of crisis.
Suicide is the second leading cause of death for young people in Canada. Jack.org is leading the way to change this.
When your employer matches your donation of $25, you cover the travel of 1 Jack Talk speaker to 2 high schools, to talk about mental health.
