Apply To

Trauma Warriors Now!

Requires 6-month commitment to the group. We accept new members in August and in December. To make sure that all activities are at no cost to the families who participate- we keep the group at around 15-ish members. That unfortunately means that not everyone who applies will get in, but we do encourage you to apply again during the next recruitment period if you do not get accepted in this round. We are looking for respectful youth who are interested in learning about a variety of Indigenous topics and are willing to try out new things! 

We host Indigenous guest speakers and teachers, plan out/then complete service projects to be involved in our local community, we have had Indigenous cooking classes led by local chef Isaac Kolb, we've been learning how to bead, how to paint murals...  the list goes on! Our group works on confidence, team building, and leadership skills. We also work on proper etiquette for being in Native community spaces. We are hoping to create a safe space for youth to learn about self-care, different coping skills for managing stress, and how historical trauma shows up in our lives today.
