Collaborations at Start2Finish.

What do we do?

As a community-minded organization, Start2Finish offers a variety of collaboration opportunities for our stakeholders to further our shared mission. The aim of these collaborations is to create life-giving spaces, which foster creativity and imagination. We specialize in working with community partners to create and execute programming that benefits school-aged children from communities of complexity. We offer services for elementary schools, early childhood centres, housing initiatives, Friendship Centres, community centres, daycares, after-school programs, and more.

  • We offer consulting packages to partners who wish to utilize our framework and approach in their work. The outcome is a program or curriculum that is tailored to your context.

  • We offer workshops for educational partners who wish to learn more about utilizing our framework and approach in their work. The outcome is to educate your organization on how Positive Education can be applied in your context and to think about the pedagogical processes of your work.
