March Mullet Warrior Campaign
2025-03-24 13:00 - 19:00 | 2 Locations: Georgian College & Connect Hair Studio
Have you always wanted a mullet? Now you can rock a business-in-the-front-and-party-in-the-back look for a good cause through a haircut fundraiser hosted by Georgian College.
Participants – who can also opt for a simple haircut of their choosing – can sign up for a pay-by-donation haircut March 24 at Georgian’s Barrie Campus. They can be a Trim Trooper – get a simple haircut and make a donation that day, or a Mullet Warrior – choose a mullet cut style and raise money with the promise that you’ll rock it until the end of March. All Mullet Warriors will get a coupon for a free reshape cut in April.
All the money raised will go to support Georgian’s collaborations with Elizabeth Fry Society Simcoe Muskoka and The Global MINDS Collective. Specifically, it will help fund programs aimed at empowering youth and young adults:

Georgian and Eliabeth Fry’s Shift Disturbers Changing Course program aims to support local youth facing barriers to postsecondary education or meaningful employment through a unique motorcycle makeover pilot program.
Global MINDS Collective’s mindfulness teacher training certification will be integrated into the Changing Course program.

These programs provide participants with essential skills and tools to navigate life's challenges, build resilience, and create a pathway toward a successful and fulfilling future. Participants engage in workshops, mentorship, and hands-on learning experiences that foster personal growth and emotional well-being.
“This fundraiser is more than a haircut — it’s a way to support youth in gaining the skills and guidance they need to move forward in life. Every dollar raised helps provide experiential learning, mentorship, and experiences that make a real difference in their future,” said Nicole Norris, Director, Social Innovation at Georgian.
Last year, this campaign raised $5,000. This year, the goal is to top that by getting 25 Mullet Warriors and 50 Trim Troopers signed up for a fresh spring cut.

How to get involved

Get a haircut March 24 between 1 and 7 p.m. Sign up online!
Room A109 (A building), hair studio, Georgian’s Barrie Campus, One Georgian Dr., Barrie, ON.
Are you a stylist? Contact mulletortrimcampaign@gmail.com to participate.
Donate online to support the Changing Course program through Georgian’s Social Innovation department.

By supporting this event, community members can play a direct role in fostering positive change by helping young people feel empowered, develop essential life skills, build resilience and foster a sense of belonging.
“We hope our dedication to building emotional regulation and mindfulness-based skills will assist in the sustainability of essential tools for participants to navigate conflict with greater awareness and the self-care tools to support their resilience and well-being,” said Natalie Matias, Director of Learning and Development, Global MINDS Collective.
