Briggs

ACE Program Coordinator & Facilitator

Briggs was introduced to the world of volunteering at 5 years old, driven by a deep commitment to community outreach, fostering belonging, and empowering individuals. A dynamic educator at heart, Briggs brings creativity and joy into every lesson, drawing from a wide array of experiences across various roles.

As the Activities and Wellness Coordinator at GEF Seniors Housing, Briggs redefined recreation by finding innovative ways to connect with seniors during the pandemic. Their creativity and adaptability were key in transforming engagement activities during a challenging time. Later, Briggs joined Elevate Aviation as a learner in the WEST program, where they quickly aligned with the organization’s mission to create pathways for women and underrepresented groups in aviation.

Briggs feels incredibly fortunate to have discovered their passion not once, but twice. During the school year, they coordinate and facilitate the Aviation Career Exploration (ACE) program, inspiring grade 5 and 6 students to explore the exciting possibilities of a career in aviation. Outside of aviation, Briggs is one of two directors of Camp Dragonfly, a summer camp dedicated to creating a safe and supportive environment for trans and gender-creative youth, where connection, creativity, and fun thrive.
