IMPulse is a mentorship program that connects indigenous youth to university mentors in the field of STEM. This service provides 1-on-1 or group sessions which allow both mentors and mentees to develop strong relationship and build discussions around STEM. This program is FREE to join and will give youth an opportunity to get advice from the mentors to help make key decisions about their future or from choosing a university to moving away from home.

Indspire is a charity organization that focuses on supporting and furthering the education of First nations, Inuit and Metis high school students. They provide free online education programs that provide the students with access to culture and customized resources and mentorship. Their vision is to, “Enrich Canada through Indigenous education and by inspiring achievement. In partnership with Indigenous, private and public sector stakeholders, Indspire educates, connects and invests in First Nations, Inuit and Métis people so they will achieve their highest potential.” This resource looks promising as a balance between online learning and cultural connections with high school students. I found while investigating their resources that they also work with communities to provide educational outcomes that “feature some of the best practices in Indigenous education,” that are engaging, inspiring as well as educational.
