Partner with us
Whether you’re a small startup looking to grow your reach or a well-known brand wanting to make a difference, GenNext East Ontario is here to help.
You’ll often see us calling our partners ‘friends of GenNext’, and it’s true! We work closely with our partners, and they know they can count on us. Our partners are engaged in their communities—and they show their local love, while meeting their business goals.
Top Shelf has been a proud partner of GenNext since 2017 and we are happy to support their initiatives to engage the next generation of change-makers! As a company based in Eastern Ontario, we believe it is important to support our community and we see GenNext as an organization we trust to address the major issues that affect so many lives.
