Locally

Forum

Forum is an event run by QPID to learn about and discuss current global issues. We welcome new perspectives, ideas and questions! Each week we will focus on a new and interesting topic, covering everything from gun control to environmental issues to micro-finance investment. Come out and participate to get involved, learn something new about local and global development, and widen your perspective. We look forward to hearing your point of view! Everyone is welcome. Forums are held on Tuesdays from 5:30-6:30 - follow our Facebook page and Instagram to get updates about the topic and location.

Collecting with QPID

The Collecting with QPID (CWQ) project seeks to increase awareness and decrease stigma surrounding youth homelessness, while raising funds to help the local Kingston Youth Shelter fulfill their essential mandate in the Kingston community

Youth Conference

Youth Conference is a yearly event that provides education on important development issues and gives high school students an opportunity to engage with various development issues. The conference helps to raise awareness of sustainable and effective development both locally and internationally. Through speakers and activities we help to inspire the new generation to get involved and make a difference.

High School Outreach: Workshops

Seeking to increase awareness about sustainable and effective development at home and abroad, QPID works alongside local high schools to provide opportunities for learning and engagement, informing students what we do and why we do it.

Abroad

Internships in Botswana, India, The Gambia, Philippines, Nunavut and More

The internships vary from region to region, but share a focus on collaboration and teamwork between QPID’s Summer Project Interns and members of host communities to fill needs that have been recognized by host communities themselves. These two to three month projects provide host communities with eager volunteers, and our volunteers with a unique opportunity for a cross-cultural experience. QPID Summer projects hope to be mutually beneficial to the local organization and community and for the interns participating in this project. QPID has participated in over 200 grassroots community development projects in Guyana, Ghana, Nunavut, Bolivia, Peru, India, Nicaragua, Burkina Faso and Kingston.
