Helping connect Canadians in need
Access to a phone can be a lifeline for youth aging out of foster care and low-income seniors, helping them stay connected to loved ones and vital support networks. Mobility for Good® supports these in-need community members with free or discounted phones and rate plans.
About Mobility for Good®
First launched in 2017 in BC as a youth focused program, Mobility for Good has now grown to support youth nationally, and also extended to seniors in 2020. It offers:
Free refurbished smartphones and plans for youth leaving foster care
Subsidized plans and the option to buy a discounted device from Mobile Klinik for low-income seniors
Digital literacy and safety workshops and resources through TELUS Wise®️
“Transitioning out of foster care is like every adult responsibility is thrown at you all at once. The Mobility for Good program provides me with a lot of support. It’s pretty wonderful.”

“This program connects you to family, to employers, and to business opportunities. It’s more than a phone."
