A Powerful Journey
Our Youth Initiative
We are dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for Indigenous Youth through revitalizing their cultural connection to self and Mother Earth. Our nature based Indigenous approach cultivates a safe and healthy environment to build relationships and empower self-resiliency through our model: Heal, Build, Inspire.
A Journey…
We begin our work with youth who are 11-12 years of age, then we walk with them for an additional three-year period before starting to focus on a new group. We do this to ensure we are building relationships and are making significant impacts on their lives. We start with these ages because of the physical ability needed to participate in most activities but more importantly, this is a critical time for prevention of the many challenges such as alcohol, teenage pregnancy, drugs, and violence. The journey evolves through a holistic wellness model that restores community and builds self-esteem through cultural life-ways teachings.
