Soaring: Indigenous Youth Empowerment Gathering

April 16 & 17, 2024 | Ottawa, ON

Each year Indspire hosts an empowerment gathering for Indigenous K-12 students from across Canada. Students will learn about educational and career opportunities, be inspired to finish high school, go on to college or university, and move into exciting careers.

Supporting Indigenous education does more than prepare youth for the workforce. It makes life better for everyone. Educated Indigenous students contribute to their communities, to business, to our country – and to the world. With support from partners like you, together we can motivate, encourage, and inspire students in their educational pursuits.

Your support plays a vital role in showing young people what’s possible through encouraging them to pursue their dreams and by supporting a new generation of bright, eager, and motivated minds into the Canadian workforce.  They’ll have a chance to attend interactive career related workshops, meet some of Canada’s top employers, talk to role models from the Indigenous community, and see first-hand the benefits of staying in school and moving forward with their education.

Why Sponsor Soaring?

  • Education is the great equalizer, it creates role models, benefits communities and saves money. Investing in education is investing in Canada’s future.
  • Meet your CSR goals while helping communities thrive. Play your part in creating a stronger future for Indigenous students.
  • Enhance your company’s profile with Indigenous communities by standing tall as a support of this year’s Soaring!
  • Your support will help enable students to:
    • Meet event sponsors at the Indspiration Zone/Tradeshow
    • Take part in workshops
    • Learn about specific career opportunities
    • Find out about Indspire’s bursary and scholarship program
    • Go on local campus tours, and so much more.

Seeing success first-hand – and being told how to achieve it themselves – is a remarkable experience for these students, and for many, it’s the encouragement they need to finish school and pursue their dreams.
