BRISC Youth Programming: The Indigenous Youth Activity Series

BRISC will launch the Indigenous Youth Activity Series, that will see a full roster of workshops, sport activities, cultural teachings and Drop-In Activity Nights which will foster a culturally safe and inclusive environment that will nurture and support Indigenous Youth in enhancing their Indigenous identity and sense of belonging through the use of traditional Indigenous teachings. We will also promote community connections and relationship building among participants.This project will also improve Indigenous health by hosting physical activities and cooking classes that will include traditional foods and healthy food options.Through the engagement of youth participants throughout the series, we hope to be able to establish an Indigenous Youth Council for our region. Once the Indigenous Youth Council is established, we will provide leadership training and support systems that fosters the Indigenous Youth Council to become mentors for younger Indigenous youth in the future.
