First Nations Programs
Elephant Thoughts has been working in Canada’s most remote communities since our inception. We have quickly expanded to become Canada’s largest science outreach program to Northern Schools visiting over 70 communities a year and having full time staff in a number of communities.
Our mandate in the North is:
- To increase the number and quality of graduates coming out of remote northern communities
- To help bridge the gap between communities and schools in some communities
- To provide students the necessary tools to have success at post-secondary institutions
- To be a resource for Northern schools in areas of professional development, satisfying teacher shortages, and helping acquire classroom tools
- To inspire, motivate, encourage, and provide confidence to First Nation and Inuit students
- To celebrate First Nations and Inuit cultures, and encourage students to share their unique culture, gifts and skills.
All of our Northern programs are conducted on a not for profit basis. If any money is surplus in a program, it is wrapped back into Native educational opportunities.
