Braided Journeys programming is intended to support First Nations, Métis and Inuit youth to become leaders of character, vision and action. Braided Journeys youth are provided multi-component, culturally-based programs that challenge their creativity, build on their skill set, and increase their support network. In addition, youth have the opportunity to develop citizenship skills, thus enhancing self-esteem and confidence. Participants also gain skills from a variety of cultural and leadership activities. Our Braided Journeys Graduation Coach provides consistent guidance to youth as they make important educational and career decisions. Students connect with the Indigenous community through cultural and educational activities and have regular access to tutoring sessions and academic supports, as well as access to post-secondary information and scholarship opportunities.
