Welcome to Press Start!
At Teachers Life and nowly, we’re committed to uplifting the people and communities who are the social innovators of tomorrow. That’s why we developed Press Start, designed to support new and established youth changemakers across Canada. Our key initiatives are the Press Start CoLab Program and the Press Start CoLab High School Program.
The Press Start CoLab Program
The Press Start CoLab Program is an innovation accelerator that supports the next generation of changemakers. Throughout the 10-week program, 50 social entrepreneurs, ages 18-29, from across the nation work collaboratively to create a minimal viable solution to the Mental Health Crisis in Canada.
The Press Start CoLab High School Program
Brought to you by Teachers Life and OTIP, the Press Start CoLab High School Program is a 7-week innovation accelerator that supports high school students and the education community from across Ontario to create a minimal viable solution, focused on the mental health of Canadian youth.
The Press Start CoLab Program Hub
The Hub is Press Start’s unique and interactive platform from which we run the Press Start CoLab Program and the Press Start CoLab High School Program. It includes exclusive access to innovative tools, resources, and tutorial videos that support participants through the ideation process to bring their social enterprise ideas to life. The Hub is private to CoLab Program community members, including our participants, mentors, and high school group leaders. This is where our community members communicate and collaborate throughout the program.
