Building the future
The MFI would like to thank students, educators, communities, and all our partners who implement and support our various programs.
Together we have worked hard to meet the challenges and deal with the ever-changing times. We faced the pandemic together and are prepared for the uncertainty of 2022.
A better future begins with education
The Martin Family Initiative (MFI) works together with First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Nation People to support education, health, and overall well-being for children, youth, and adults. We believe everyone should have the opportunity to reach their full potential.
Programs
MFI’s programs strengthen education across the spectrum of learning: support for parents and young children in their earliest years of life, literacy in First Nations elementary schools, entrepreneurship at the high school level, and mentorship for students to pursue post-secondary education.
We also provide resources to support Indigenous education more broadly, including a virtual library for educators to explore learning materials and research reports.
We helped create a skills development course for principals, vice-principals, and aspirants working in First Nations schools across Canada. Learn more →
