We provide free e-learning, training, and tools to empower youth with well-being and life skills knowledge for fulfilling lives and a positive impact on society.
Vision statement:
Every youth in Canada has access to free learning resources to achieve their fullest potential and transform our communities.
Example partnership model: https://endeavourvolunteer.ca/non-profits/apply-now/
In this example, Endeavour provides consulting services. After receiving these services, clients are encouraged to donate back to Endeavour, enabling them to continue providing pro bono consulting to non-profits in need.
Brainstorming:
Collaboration work:
- Success Drive: Create e-learning materials for youth and by youth
- Opening Hook: Wellness in Your Pocket: On-Demand Support for Young Minds
- Our shared challenge: Do you know that one in five Canadian youth who felt their mental health was "good" or better in 2019 no longer feel that way in 2023? The youth we all serve are caught between long waitlists and a digital world that often amplifies their distress. How do we offer immediate, meaningful support and engagement in the very spaces they occupy?
- Our contribution: RainbowVI offers free, high-impact mobile e-learning courses that equip youth, aged from 15 to 24, with essential life skills, like mental health awareness, financial literacy, and leadership. By removing barriers to access, we help young people thrive and become positive forces in their communities. We're looking to partner with organizations that share our vision of empowering the next generation.
- What we do exactly:
- We train youth to design free, accessible micro-courses (2–5 minutes) that teach simple, evidence-backed skills:
- Breathing & grounding exercises
- Healthy relationship tips
- Self-talk reframes
- Mindful tech use
- Coping with rejection or failure
- Example course(s) + platform demo, testimonials: Understand your emotion; Youth Engagement Basic 1 and 2. Platform demo: Tally. Testimonials:
- Susana, 16: “I really like this! Its easy and quick which helps because realistically people would want to use it more”.
- Brendon, 29: “The courses are designed really nice and function well. I found them short, sweet and informative”.
