Maps & Dashboards

Our maps and dashboards transform complex information into clear, visual stories. These tools help communities and organizations see how ideas, data, and relationships connect across regions — turning information into insight and supporting stronger, more informed decision-making.

INTERACTIVE MAPPING

First Nations Community Schools Across Canada

This interactive map displays First Nations community schools across Canada. Each marker represents a school location — selecting one reveals key details about the school and its associated Band or Nation. Designed for clarity and accessibility, the map helps users understand the distribution and reach of community-led education across the country.

OUR CORE SOLUTIONS

Empowering Understanding Through Data And Design

At Mentee, we combine mapping, data visualization, and thoughtful design to create tools that support learning, insight, and community priorities. This interactive map was created for PBS North's Native Report to offer a clear and engaging way to explore Minnesota First Nations territories through place-based learning.

Context

We design maps and dashboards that reflect the context and priorities of each community. Our visual tools highlight relationships, patterns, and regional dynamics, helping users understand information in a clear and meaningful way.

Accountability

Our approach to mapping is grounded in co-creation, transparency, and respect for data sovereignty. We work closely with partners to ensure each visualization aligns with community intentions and accurately represents the story the data is meant to tell.

Transparency

We prioritize clarity and accessibility by turning complex information into intuitive, easy-to-navigate visuals. Our maps and dashboards support open communication, informed decision-making, and meaningful engagement with community-driven insights.

What are interactive maps and dashboards for?

They turn scattered information into something you can see and use. That might be an interactive map of a community's assets, or a dashboard that shows funders how a program is going in real time instead of once a year.

Can a dashboard help us report to funders?

Yes. A dashboard keeps your key numbers in one live place that updates as you go. So when a funder asks how a program is going, you're not scrambling to pull data out of spreadsheets and emails. It's already there, current, and ready to share. Your reporting stops being a project and starts being a click.

What is asset mapping?

Most planning starts by listing what an organization or community is missing. Asset mapping flips that around. It's a map of what you already have: the people and their skills, the physical spaces, the local groups and partners, and the relationships that quietly get things done. Laying those strengths out often changes how a group plans, and it makes a far stronger case to funders than a list of problems. For example, a community might realize it already has three volunteer-run spaces and a handful of skilled Elders it was never formally counting.
