For Young People
The Indigenous Association leads Ogimaa Youth Initiative, creating a place for Indigenous youth to connect with culture, community, supportive adults, and one another. With support from Youthworks, Ogimaa offers cultural activities, shared experiences, opportunities to build relationships, and ways for youth to explore their strengths and leadership. Like Beautiful Spirit, the focus is on creating a place where Indigenous youth can belong, connect, learn, and grow alongside people who understand and value who they are.
