Episode 79: Nick Pearce, Co-Founder of HoMie | A Label For The Streets. 100% of Profits go to Homelessness and Hardship.

In this episode, I speak with Nick Pearce, the Co-Founder & CEO of HoMie.

HoMie is a streetwear clothing social enterprise that supports young people affected by homelessness or hardship with the skills, confidence & experiences to become more work-ready & better prepared for their future. 

HoMie’s Brunswick St store in Melbourne is a base for HoMie's two social impact programs - our VIP Days and a training location for our HoMie Pathway Alliance Program, as well as where we showcase our latest releases across all seasons.

From one monogram tee to year-round releases, and two solid social impact programs that have supported over 1,500 young people to date - it’s fair to say the HoMie team is proud to see how the brand has evolved over the years in making and creating impact in our community.

When you shop with HoMie, you're helping to support young people affected by homelessness or hardship. HoMie is a Label For The Streets with 100% of Profits going to this important cause. 

During this dynamic chat, Nick and I discuss: 

The why behind the launch of HoMie
The Lifechanging Programs that HoMie and their community partners offer 
HoMie’s iconic VIP days that support young people
HoMie’s REBORN program 
News about HoMie’s partnership with ABMT to create Australia’s FIRST upcycling factory 

And so much more! 

I enjoyed every minute of this dynamic, inspiring chat with Nick and no doubt you will too!
