Dojo Foundations Information

Dojo Foundations is a founder-led initiative building practical tools and community infrastructure for people navigating career, technology, and life transitions — built in Edmonton. LIFE DOJO — lifedojo.dojofoundations.com Free, same-field mentorship for newcomers, international students, and early-career professionals. The evidence is strong: in Toronto's TRIEC mentoring program, 77% of newcomers found work in their field within six months — mentorship more than doubles the odds of landing a good-quality job. We connect people with senseis in their field — and often their language — and turn advice into practical next steps. PULSE — pulse.dojofoundations.com Civic intelligence for social isolation: a live Social Isolation Index across all 392 Edmonton neighbourhoods, built entirely from public open data and aligned with the City's Community Safety & Well-Being Strategy. Opportunity shouldn't depend on who already has the right network. → Professionals: become a sensei — 30–60 minutes a month. → Settlement & education organizations: refer clients at no cost; we report outcomes. → City & agency partners: ask us about a PULSE pilot. Built in Edmonton. Starting small. Expanding with purpose.
