It's always exciting to see learners enjoying their Make Stuff Move kits in their free time! 🚚

This young builder spent time at home assembling an Ampere truck, showcasing creativity, problem-solving, and a passion for making. ✨

We love seeing these hands-on experiences continue beyond our programs and inspire learning at home!

Have you or someone you know built a Make Stuff Move kit? We'd love to see it! Share a photo in the comments below and show us what you've created. 📸👇

Mentorship is a key part of Ampere’s identity so when we get a chance to expand our mentorship network – for example, by attending volunteer fairs – we’re thrilled to participate. 🙌

Earlier in June, we were invited to attend LCVI’s Volunteer Fair. While there, we had the pleasure of engaging with learners about how they could not only get community hours, but how volunteering with Ampere could be an opportunity for them to explore their passions and consider how their futures could look. 😀

Read about our experience and our perspective on the importance of these moments here: https://amp.ca/recognizing-the-value-of-volunteer-fairs/

It’s not often we have the chance to connect with our younger selves while supporting today’s youth but that is precisely how Madison Kiriakou described her experience volunteering at BeaYOUtiful Foundation’s launch in Kawartha Lakes on May 24.

“I experienced bullying in school, even from people you wouldn’t think, and it stuck with me. I would love nothing more than to create an environment for children and youth to help them navigate that experience and the feelings that came with it,” says Kiriakou.
