Education can offer life-changing opportunities, but every year, too many bright, driven students from disadvantaged backgrounds make the decision not to pursue post-secondary education because they can't afford it. We're here to help.

SUPPORT OUR MISSION
Donors and corporate & community partners understand that potential is more than good grades. They believe that students with grit, creativity and empathy are the future.
Furthermore, they know that improving access to post-secondary education makes a positive societal impact. Having access to a network of experienced perspectives and connections like you is crucial to guide Beedie Luminaries through their educational and professional journeys.
DONORS & CORPORATE PARTNERS
BE A LEADER
You can’t put a price on wisdom. The goal is to connect each student with a mentor – someone who will walk with the student on their academic and personal journey and make them feel that they have someone in their corner who will listen, provide support, guidance, and champion their academic and life endeavours.
As a mentor, your support can be vital in building a foundation for success that will last beyond these students’ post-secondary experience. A continuous relationship with a mentor is essential to students’ success, and as such, Beedie Luminaries asks for a minimum two-year commitment from each volunteer. We ask that you meet with your mentee at least once per month for a minimum of one hour. Mentors and mentees can meet virtually, in person, or a hybrid, but mentors must be BC-based.
Join our growing network of over 300 mentors, and assist students in a variety of ways, helping them reach new heights that might otherwise seem impossible.

JOIN OUR JOURNEY
We partner with leaders across sectors and industries. They help us spread the word about the program, identify potential Luminaries, and support the Luminary Network by providing mentors, paid internships, and future employment opportunities upon graduation.
We’re looking for corporate & community partners to help invest, build and support our program. Please contact us to discuss opportunities to be part of a visionary collective making a real difference.
COMMUNITY PARTNERS
ELEVATE YOUR IMPACT
We all firmly believe post-secondary education is an integral path to success in both career and life. However, affordability and life circumstances are real barriers that hinder students with great potential. Having on-campus support is crucial to guide Beedie Luminaries through their educational and professional journeys. And that’s where you come in.
You would work with us to identify promising students from modest backgrounds—those with great potential, who have faced adversity and are in financial need. You would explore ways of expanding intake requirements to consider more than just grades.
