Join an organization that's making an impact in rural, remote, and Indigenous communities

Ampere (formerly the Pinnguaq Association) isn't just another non-profit. We're an award-winning catalyst for change, activating opportunities for people of all ages in rural, remote, and Indigenous communities to unlock their potential through STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math). Through our partnerships with communities, businesses, and technology creators, we co-design and deliver culturally responsive tools, resources, curriculums, and world-class programming across the country.

We believe the best education doesn't feel like work, it feels like discovery.

From our roots in Pangnirtung, Nunavut, we've grown to operate Makerspace and Skills Hubs in Iqaluit (Nunavut), Bathurst (New Brunswick), and the Kawartha Lakes (Ontario), while collaborating with partners nationwide. Our Lifecycle approach ensures that we're with learners at every age and every stage of life, and our mission-driven model ensures that 100% of social enterprise proceeds sustain programs that benefit communities we serve.
