YMCA ReBuild and HoMie are two work-integrated learning social enterprises that provide employment pathways to young people facing hardship. We've joined to develop a range of high-quality PPE, workwear and uniform clothing lines.

ReBuild x HoMie is a strong, values-based partnership

The two social enterprises identified their synergies in helping and empowering young people and equipping them with skills, confidence and experience to become more employable and achieve a brighter future. 

With this aligned mission, they decided to partner up in an area that also represents their two areas of work – commercial construction and apparel production – to develop a commercial grade workwear range with a social outcome.
