Achieving the Dream Through Education Communities
Help Us Achieve The Dream With A Donation Of $20 Or More Today! Your donation can support:
Indigenous Youth Need Your Support! β Providing indigenous youth with financial assistance to access their dream through education.
When you donate, you are giving more than money. You are providing Matawa youth with the means to realize their full potential and empower them to make life-changing choices that impact them and their community. By creating a bursary, you are offering them access to post-secondary education; when you support a fund, these dollars enhance their learning opportunities. When you provide resources for clothing, computers, sports equipment and art supplies, you are making a difference one student at a time!

Today, the Achieving the Dream Through Education Board of Directors traded the boardroom for community service, spending the day volunteering at Grace Place Thunder Bay
Our Board is made up of dedicated members from across the Matawa First Nations who continually put community first. It was inspiring to work alongside such a passionate group, giving their time, energy, and hearts in support of an organization that makes a meaningful difference in Thunder Bay.
A heartfelt thank you to Grace Place for welcoming us and for the incredible work you do every day to support those in our community. We are grateful for the opportunity to lend a helping hand and learn more about the impact of your organization.
