We actively bring an equity lens to all aspects of our work, using the principle of "nothing about us without us." To keep ourselves accountable and evaluate programs with an anti-racist, trauma-informed, decolonized, and Indigenized lens, our Content Advisory is regularly consulted. We have shared authorship with the following individuals youth, Elders, and community members.

About

We are a Canadian education nonprofit that supports educators and enables youth from equity-deserving groups to see themselves as changemakers, find their purpose and make a meaningful difference in their communities.

​

​

At UpstartED, we acknowledge and respect the land and territory on which we stand. We have the privilege to live, learn, teach and raise our families on the traditional, treaty, and unceded territories of Turtle Island (North America), home to many First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples. As a nonprofit that empowers youth to be agents of positive change and responsible citizens, we recognize the importance of and actively support reconciliation efforts in Canada and across the world. Learn more about actions for reconciliation as citizens and educators.
