Focus on Community Work: TMT Learning Foundation
The TMT Learning Foundation is a Calgary-based non-profit organization dedicated to empowering communities through education, innovation, and capacity building. Founded on the belief that knowledge is the gateway to opportunity, the organization focuses on delivering accessible and inclusive learning programs that address real-world challenges in today’s fast-evolving society.
TMT Learning Foundation is particularly committed to equipping immigrants, youth, and underrepresented groups with the tools and confidence needed to succeed in the digital age. Their programming spans across key areas such as digital literacy, entrepreneurship, social innovation, mental health wellness, and career readiness. By creating culturally relevant, community-driven learning experiences, the foundation helps individuals explore their potential and become active contributors to the Canadian economy and society.
One of the Foundation’s flagship initiatives is the Empowering Futures: Stepping Stones Summer Program, which provides high school students with a dynamic learning environment to explore career options, develop entrepreneurial thinking, and build critical life skills. Through interactive workshops and mentorship, students are exposed to real-world insights that help them prepare for life beyond school. This program not only builds confidence but also fosters leadership and a sense of belonging among participants.
TMT Learning Foundation also places a strong emphasis on mental health through its “Checking In” initiative, a community-focused program that promotes mental wellness, especially among immigrants and minority youth. This initiative offers practical resources, conversations, and events that create a safe space for individuals to talk about mental health, self-care, and resilience. The goal is to reduce stigma and ensure that young people have the emotional support they need to thrive.
To complement its community efforts, the foundation runs The TIE Show (Technology, Innovation & Empowerment)—a platform that features thought leaders, entrepreneurs, and changemakers discussing emerging trends in technology, social justice, and education. This platform amplifies diverse voices and creates space for meaningful dialogue and collaboration.
Through partnerships, mentorship, and a deep-rooted commitment to inclusion, the TMT Learning Foundation is redefining what it means to learn, grow, and lead in a diverse and connected world. Whether you’re a youth searching for purpose, a newcomer building a future, or a community leader seeking impact, TMT is a place where transformation begins.
