Welcome to Shine Society.
A NPO in YVR.

We are a passionate team of community-driven individuals that live & work in Vancouver, dedicated to inspiring young adults to embrace hands-on work while keeping our city’s buildings and streets clean. 

Our mission celebrates the value of blue-collar labor, empowering youth to make a meaningful impact and earn a living in Vancouver. We focus on three core principles to guide young adults:

• Routine & Consistency: Achieving results through steady, dependable effort.

• Commitment & Diligence: Mastering time management to build strong work habits.

• Community Engagement: Fostering gratitude and pride for the city we call home.

The Challenge: 

• Vancouver streets & buildings require high frequency, routine cleaning. Not once or twice a year.

• Hygiene of streets is important for safety of all.

• Human resource from City of Vancouver, and other NPOs require more support. 

• Cost of Services are high for businesses & strata.

The Solution:

• Our model is to perform cleanings every 3-4 days, 365.

• High pressure washers from Hotsy to remove gum!

• Employ & REWARD young adults with ambition and diligence.

• Low cost for a committed relationship for high frequency, consistent service.

We are a small team of volunteers and do not have a large budget at this moment. This is the best website that we have at the moment and we're working on it.

Our current priorities is to secure a few stratas and clients to start the process of power washing the streets. We have engaged Gastown Business Association so far, and have connected with 40 businesses and 5 stratas in Gastown. 

Our next steps is to engage Hotsy to obtain a commercially viable solution to start our first cleaning. We're scheduled to be live in September 2025.
