The Quarter Club, powered by the United Way, forms a community of inspiring leaders driving a global movement of people using business as a force for good. The most challenging social problems from Saint John to Sussex to St. Stephen cannot be solved by government and non-profits alone. Quarter Club members work toward a stronger community where kids are safe and successful, families thrive, and our neighbours have dignity and purpose. By harnessing the power of the Club, members use profits and growth as a means to a greater end: positive impact for their business, employees and community. Quarter Club businesses demand the highest standards of verifiable social impact to balance profit and purpose. Club businesses are accelerating a global culture shift to redefine success in business and build a more inclusive and sustainable Greater Saint John.
