The idea for igniteFAIR began in early 2014 to help students learn about the hundreds of non-profit, youth-run, and volunteer organizations across Ontario that provide opportunities to get involved. Each organization holds their own booth at igniteFAIR, staffed by representatives to talk about its mission, programs, campaigns; so that young people will feel inspired and empowered to take action.
Since our inaugural event in October 2014, the event has attracted attention from all across Canada, with plans to host similar igniteFAIRs in cities across the country in the near future. It is our goal to ignite the altruistic instinct in people to get involved in their communities.
Help us continue bridging the gap between volunteer organizations and youth in communities across Canada by becoming an official igniteFAIR sponsor. Our sponsorship package is available on our website!
Here's how we've worked with communities across the country to inspire a generation to act and become the changemakers that our world needs:
1. 2 igniteFAIRs held since our inaugural event in 2014.
2. 2 official igniteFAIR host cities.
3. 1000+ people reached through igniteFAIR & related initiatives.
4. $3000 raised for other charities through igniteFAIR initiatives.
