One of the awesome things about volunteering with @UpstartED, a student from Ottawa that I spoke with during a Design/Branding workshop just got in touch. Check out what these grade twelve students are doing to improve their community. #periods #Entrepreneur #CommunityEngagement

The stigma regarding menstruation has negative effects on everyone. But women and girls from marginalized backgrounds are disproportionately affected by period poverty. We believe that access to period products is a human right and should be essential for women to thrive.

Excited for our #upGen participants to explore this topic at the Bootcamp at the end of the month. We need to educate our youngest generation that sustainability needs to be at the core of innovation. The age of society-centric businesses is here. #sustainability #youth – at Le Grand-Saconnex, Suisse

"In spite of owning fewer things, individuals will do more, and so will the clothing they wear." - this is the perfect time for us at @upstarted to get students thinking about retail and ecommerce, while keeping the circular economy in mind. #upGen2019 fastcompany.com/90281299/the…

Having #empathy, being able to consider another's perspective, and managing one's own emotions and actions, all of which are connected to #kindness, are linked to academic success. They also make communities stronger @LindaFlanagan2 bit.ly/2Pdt1do #edchat #parents
