Ignite the Warmth Society

To deliver necessary goods to those in need (e.g. homeless or impoverished). Ignite the Warmth in partnership with The University of British Columbia's (UBC) Allard School of Law and community partners developed a six-week program to encourage connection curiosity and community for peer mentors and youth to build awareness and capacity to create a more socially just world. This free-to-anyone mentorship program will emphasize learning about systemic barriers and making a lasting impact within participants’ communities. Concepts such as power privilege and social restorative and transformative justice will be explored with the help of community experts. Participants will also learn about practices for self-care and how self-care lends to community care and evidently collective liberation. They will be supported by mentors with backgrounds and lived experiences in social justice efforts. Throughout the program they will work together to support and uplift each other and community.
