What is the time commitment for your "Foundations for the Future" program?

That totally depends on your student's goals and their commitment to working toward their Certificate of Completion!

In total, here is the general breakdown of activities available with this program:

- 20+ video lessons (totaling about 8 hours of material)

- 170+ pages of interactive workbook material (all optional!)

- When running the program live, we offer 8 hours of bonus live coaching calls (virtual)

- Milestone Activities (required to earn the Certificate of Completion; completion of each activity can range from 1- 10+ hours depending on the level of detail included!)

*This is a totally self-paced program. There is NO time limit and each student's access to this material is life-long!

Why aren't you a not-for-profit?

We have made the conscious decision to identify as a Social Enterprise (SE) for a number of reasons. First and foremost, we believe that the future of small and corporate-scale business is one where consumers expect a commitment from service and product providers to The Triple Bottom Line. As we educate young people about business, we also think it's important to lead by example in our operation of one!

More on Social Enterprises:

An SE is a business model that seeks to achieve social good in some variation of a double or triple bottom line, recognizing profit and social and environmental good in the business proposition. An SE is not defined in the Canadian Income Tax Act, requires no certification and there are currently a range of definitions. An SE can be either for-profit or nonprofit, and some are sister organizations to (or partnered with) registered charities.

Buy Social Canada stipulates SE's show that "At least 50% of the business revenue comes from selling goods and services in the market place and there is an embedded mission to achieve social, cultural or environmental objectives through the sales".

*The items in BOLD fit in with our model.

Can my student work with you 1:1?

Yes! I offer 1:1 coaching on topics included in our programs, and can also help facilitate interest-based passion projects and/ or early-stage career exploration!

How do we get your programming into our school?

We'd love to talk to you about a custom in-school program/ experience with your unique goals and vision in mind.

SPONSORSHIP: How do I get more info?

details about our aligned mission and your impact
sponsorship levels (cost and what you get in return)
Link to our sponsorship package (easy for sharing with your network!)

...and of course, you can CONTACT US and we'd love to book a call to discuss further!

SPONSORSHIP: How do I know where my money is going?

First of all, instead of your funds going into a general "pot", we've designed our program so that sponsorship participation ONLY goes towards putting students into the program. Your dollars= our entrance fee. Period.

Secondly, we provide an impact report at the beginning and end of our 8 week "Foundations for the Future" program, so you know the age, location, and (if available) some notes on the work completed by your sponsored student(s).

Have a preference that your contribution goes directly to students from a certain outreach program or geographic area? You've got it! Although it may taker longer to get those students onboarded, we will commit ourselves to matching your dollars with the audience you're most passionate about supporting!
