Finning Canada and Actua

In Canada, Finning has partnered with Actua, Canada’s leading STEM education outreach organization. Finning is supporting Actua’s programming for youth aged 10-16 in Western Canadian communities with a focus on:

  • National Aboriginal Outreach Program – a community-based program that makes a connection between local traditional knowledge and culture with modern science
  • National Girls Program – all-girl camps and clubs designed to connect girls to positive female role models in STEM fields
  • At-Risk Youth: engaging socio-economically challenged youth in their communities.

In addition to providing financial support, Finning will work with Actua to leverage the time, skill and expertise of Finning people through volunteering, mentoring and helping develop hands-on learning.

Finning South America and ComunidadMujer

In South America, Finning is partnering with CommunidadMujer, an independent, non-government organization that works to promote greater participation of women in public and the workforce.

Through Finning’s investment, CommunidadMujer will initially focus on working with teachers and school administrators to identify and address the gender biases that can exclude girls from STEM-based vocational paths.
