Ashlee Pilon knows how important it is to pay it f

Ashlee Pilon knows how important it is to pay it forward. For this fourth-year Nursing student, helping others isn’t just a career goal; it’s a way of life. Currently in the Accelerated Standing Track Nursing Program at Queen’s University, Ashlee dreams of one day becoming a paediatric nurse…and she isn’t waiting until graduation to pursue that goal! She routinely volunteers with members of the Kingston community who have physical and mental disabilities through an organization called Friday Friends – and she recently helped raise money for the Children’s Miracle Network through her membership in the Queen’s University Dance Marathon.

Supported by the Government of Ontario through Indspire’s Building Brighter Futures: Bursaries, Scholarships, and Awards program, Ashlee is excited about the difference this funding has made to her future: “Having a job that gives me the power to make someone’s experience, in such a vulnerable state, even just a little bit better, is an amazing opportunity… Without the help and support of donors such as yourselves, I would not be able to attend the school of my dreams and pursue a career in Nursing.”

Research is booming here at Indspire! The Research

Research is booming here at Indspire! The Research Knowledge Nest is announcing the release of its second-ever report: the Nurturing Capacity Synthesis Report. Produced with support from the Suncor Energy Foundation, the report is a comprehensive overview of Indspire’s Nurturing Capacity Synthesis program. It connected Indigenous researchers with community-led Indigenous education projects, offering evaluation support to the projects and documenting how they worked.

Through the evaluation, communities were able to determine if their program worked and how it impacted the community, allowing others to learn from the innovations. This report, which incorporates both Indigenous and Western approaches, synthesizes these findings to understand what the 50+ community-led projects have in common – and to shed light on what works for other Indigenous communities. FYI, K-12 educators and administrators: there’s also a free companion Guidebook which you can use to evaluate your own innovative Indigenous education programs and measure your success!

Check out the Guidebook and read the report at the link in our bio!
