Indigenous Youth Leadership Program

All CWY programs are open to Canada’s Indigenous youth. CWY also offers programs specifically designed for Indigenous youth, including some that involve living and working with Indigenous communities in other countries, with the support of CWY’s international and Canadian partners. The Indigenous Youth Leadership Program builds on the core components of CWY’s youth programming model. It is an asset-based program centered on Indigenous knowledge and culture and delivered in partnership with Indigenous communities.

The Indigenous Youth Leadership Program consists of intensive experiential learning opportunities aimed at providing participants with the knowledge, skills and strategies necessary to prepare them to pursue academic goals and employment and to become catalysts for change through community development and multilateral cooperation regionally, nationally and internationally.
