Aunties on the Road: Culture-Based Teachings Connected to Sexual and Reproductive Health

Funded Amount: $30000
Our project activities aim to support Indigenous youth to grow in relationship with their bodies, through increased knowledge of their sexual and reproductive health, from both western and traditional perspectives.  Through our programming, we aim to instil community and cultural knowledge and teachings to such rites of passage, recognizing the plethora of benefits connection to community and culture offers to Indigenous people. We offer monthly programming and workshops hosted by members of our Collective as well as by local reproductive and sexual health experts and traditional knowledge keepers on a variety of topics that seek to educate and empower local youth.
