Hear From Our Graduates
“I have gained so much knowledge and self-confidence being here at Ignite. Though my time here is ending, I will always remember Ignite as a place of learning, not only about school, Indigenous studies, and about addictions, but mostly about myself. A year ago, graduating high school did not seem like a strong possibility for me because anxiety always got the best of me, and I thought I would never be smart enough to pass a single test. Coming to Ignite has changed my life in so many ways, and I will be forever grateful to the staff who taught me and gave me the support I needed to help me graduate.”
“Ignite made me feel more confident in myself, and it also made me want to succeed in life.”
“Ignite taught me how to set boundaries, deal with addictions and control my mental health.”
“It helps me to stay positive about myself and it helps me with giving boundaries and it’s ok to say NO.”
“Loved the confidence the staff has in each student to better themselves.”
“What a wonderful place. I am so glad I had the opportunity to learn and socialize with amazing people. Thank you Ignite!”
“Coming to Ignite and going back to school made me feel confident about myself again.”
“I’ve learned that mistakes happen, it doesn’t make the person a bad person. And everyone is deserving of love, and forgiveness.”
