"Mate Masie" Equity Project

“Mate Masie” Equity Project

Our Project

We produce equity-based curriculum and programs designed to enrich culture, support inclusive environments, and improve outcomes for children, youth and their families.

What We Do

Develop curriculum for professionals & parents to access resources and information designed to build their capacity to support children and youth.

Our Reasons for Being

Black, Indigenous and racialized youth struggle to find their roots in culture, in curriculum, within their school system, and communities. We strive to develop programs that focus on their perspectives and improving outcomes for our youth.

Research & Evaluation

We strive to develop research & demonstrate the effectiveness of our interventions upon children and youth.
