Helping Saskatchewan's best and brightest succeed.

We are committed to giving back to local youth who volunteer their time to improve their communities. As a 100% Saskatchewan-owned, not-for-profit co-operative, social responsibility is at the forefront of everything we do.

Our Access Communications Doug Alexander Scholarship Program grants $1,000 to 20 Saskatchewan high school graduates every year. Our Access Communications Fred Wagman Entrance Scholarship in Film & Video supports aspiring filmmakers at the University of Regina. And we award scholarships to students at Saskatchewan Polytechnic for their Computer Networking Technician and Telecommunications Network Technician certificate programs.  

Since 2005, we’ve proudly awarded over $440,000 in scholarships, helping over 1,440 of Saskatchewan's best and brightest pursue their dreams!

2024 Access Communications Doug Alexander Scholarship Recipients

Grace Adie, Govan

In my community, I am known for being someone who helps out whenever I can. I volunteer because I want to, not because I am told to. I love my communities, and being trusted with important roles of responsibility within them means a lot to me.

Abeer Ahmed, Regina

I enjoy volunteering with my Air Cadet Squadron because I can bring smiles to cadet’s faces and inspire them to pursue their own dreams in aviation.

Mackenzie Bloom, Turtleford

I strongly believe that everyone should volunteer at least once in their life. I love giving back to my community because they have supported me my whole life. Small acts of kindness can make a significant difference in someone’s life. 

Laura Christensen, Lampman

I volunteer for multiple reasons, the main being to help others, improve my community, and learn new skills. Volunteering makes me feel happy that I am contributing to making the community a better place for everyone to live.

Rachel Engbers, Regina

I strongly believe that just because a child grows up in poverty doesn’t mean they should be denied opportunities. This mindset has made me committed to making my community better and inspiring others to do the same.

Tia Fellner, Weyburn

Helping others is important to me and I can grow and learn from this experience. I want to be the reason a student smiles and the reason they succeed.

Atasha Flores, Regina

Serving people is my greatest passion. I believe that making time to serve my community is the biggest donation I can give as a student. I find joy in giving back and making an impact in people’s lives.

Lauren Froehlich, Nipawin

I volunteer because I find immense joy in helping others. With each event I am a part of, there is the potential to bring happiness to someone’s life, and that possibility alone makes every effort worthwhile. 

Jasmine George, Redvers

My favourite part of volunteering is working with other people — hearing new ideas, developing solutions to problems, and achieving common goals. I love knowing that there are people in my community who care so much, and this inspires me to continue volunteering.

Myanna Holland, Watrous

When I volunteer I feel like I am showing appreciation for those who helped to shape me into who I am. It is also rewarding to see the joy that my time can bring to other people. 

Dalen Jarman, Climax

I have been an active participant in many school and community activities for multiple years. I want to give back so others can continue to enjoy my school and community.

Halima Kasim, Yorkton

I volunteer because I am driven by passion and guided by my heartfelt belief in my ability to leave a positive mark on society and the lives of others whether that's through direct volunteering or simply being myself.

Payten Keyowski, Shellbrook

I volunteer because I love providing others the same opportunities I had growing up. The community events I volunteer at bring community members together, and give others opportunities they may not otherwise have. 

Lanea Lafontaine, Regina

I volunteer because it helps build my confidence and teaches me how to be a good listener, how to take direction, work with others, and how to lead. I volunteer all over the city at different places because it helps me to better understand the needs of our community.

Hannah Macdonald, Martensville

I volunteer because of my parents — they've always shown me the importance of giving back. Volunteering isn't just about giving back — it's about learning and growing, and it's shaping my future in ways I never imagined.

Kaitlyn McNeill, Regina

I have been blessed in life and believe that everyone deserves a better future. Giving back has contributed to my growth as an individual as well as helping to make life better for others.

Kaylee Mudrewich, Wawota

I love my community and helping others do good in sports, academics or in daily life. I believe we should push ourselves outside our comfort zones to grow and meet different people.

Rowan Redekopp, Martensville

I volunteer to bring forth positive change in my school and local community. I volunteered with the Best Buddies program and it is a gift being able to spend time with them and learn about their interests.

Karstin Soucy, Leoville

I want to see a future where volunteering is still very rewarding in communities, so I volunteer at youth organizations, with sporting clubs, and at community events - to help keep it alive and to set an example for younger generations in my community. 

Katrina Whelan, Turtleford

I volunteer because I have found a place where my actions have an impact on people. My grandma once told me “Some of us are not meant to do big extravagant things, but that doesn't mean that what we are doing doesn't change the world.”
