What makes I2U so special?
Inspired 2 Uplift operates under three core principles: respect, compassion, and empathy. This applies at all times to our relationships with the students that we are paired with, with each other, and with our wider community.
Our goal for Inspired 2 Uplift will always be to increase support and awareness for youth with intellectual or developmental disabilities, but it is our sincere hope that along with that, this program will serve as the start of each of your individual philanthropic journeys and be an all around great experience for everybody involved. We are all students of different backgrounds and ages, united by a shared passion for supporting the unheard, and we hope that through this initiative we can all play our part in leaving a positive lasting impact on our communities.
Each and every role is integral and no one role is more important than another. Everyone has an equal part in how this program is run and the direction this program will go in. Our individual roles are only for ease in delegation of duties and the efficient and effective use of our individual strengths, and are not necessarily stringent divisions. Therefore, if there is something that you’d like to do but it is outside your role, then we will support you. We welcome initiative, and we will surely reward and celebrate it. However, each role comes with its own duties and responsibilities and it is paramount that we attend to those duties first. It is only through the earnest effort of each and every one of you that this will thrive and succeed, so we should all strive to do our best.
Inspired 2 Uplift also aims to be a welcome and supportive environment for all its members. As per the nature of this program, we are required to embody positive characteristics, both in how we conduct ourselves and how we interact with others. Foul language, bullying, and harassment will not be tolerated. If this is something that you encounter, please tell a Director or a President. Communication is key– we cannot help if we don’t know what is wrong. Your safety, well-being, and peace of mind is of the utmost importance so if you are ever uncomfortable or feel unsafe then we will do everything in our power to right things and support you. Inspired 2 Uplift is also meant to coexist with your academic career, so in the case that your duties are negatively impacting your grades, please don’t hesitate to contact a Director or the President so that we can find a way to accommodate you and figure out the best path for all of us going forward.
We hope that, in the end, this program will cultivate your senses of respect, compassion, and empathy, and allow you new perspectives of the world around you. We hope that the experience you gain from this program will open up new opportunities for you, whether it be in university or anywhere else, and that this program will develop your present skills and introduce you to new ones. And most of all, we hope that this program will have had a hand in your development as a person and as a human being and that we all will have emerged as better, more mature, and more understanding people.
