Projects

These are just a few of the many projects NSPIRG has been part of over the years. More will be added as we go through our archives and reload everything to our new site!

Sensory Kits
NSPIRG has been working on ways to address student stress and anxiety on campus, with a focus on neurodivergence.
One project that we have used to address this issue is our Sensory Kits – toolkits with grounding tools for all the senses. Sensory Kits come complete with fidgets, smelling cups, mini fans, light filtering glasses, ear plugs and sour or minty candy to help ground the nervous system and bring you back inside your window of tolerance.
These kits are available for student societies to borrow to make their events more accessible, and are available to purchase to the wider community.

Emergency Hijab Kits
Our Emergency Hijab Kits are available at various spots throughout campus and community, and are designed as a quick and easy replacement should anything happen to someone’s hijab. These kits were created after several instances of xenophobia on campus led to our students feeling unsafe and under appreciated. If you’d like an emergency hijab kit for your office, please be in touch

Queer Doula Toolkit
The Queer Doula Toolkit was a combined effort between NSPIRG and Wellness Within, with funding from the Tegan and Sara Foundation. Aimed to provide resources for Queer birthing folks and their support networks, the Queer Doula Toolkit has gone international as a training tool for doulas as far away as Turkey and China.
