Why do you like mentoring with ICE?

I enjoy working with indigenous youth because of their enthusiasm for their projects.  I like helping them break down large, complex tasks into manageable steps and focussing their confidence on those elements of the project that are critical for success.  I also enjoy teaching the principles of Building Science and applying them to real-world tasks.

Who would you like to mentor with ICE?

I would like to work with any Indigenous youth who are looking to contribute to their communities and are interested in learning more about high-performance buildings.
