Exciting opportunity for Youth 15-17
HIP Y2Y (Youth to Youth Truth and Reconciliation Gathering) is not just a program; it's a transformative experience that brings Indigenous and non-Indigenous youth from 15-17, immersing them in the rich tapestry of Indigenous culture while fostering connections among a diverse group of young people from all corners of Canada and parts of the US.This extraordinary event will be taking place at Six Nations in Brantford - March 22-29, 2026. Here is a video (use control click) about last year’s experience. Through a dynamic mix of activities, interactive workshops, and engaging sessions, youth participants will be encouraged to embrace diversity, build meaningful relationships, and gain a deeper appreciation for Indigenous perspectives and contributions.
This year, with our cross-border district, we will be including students from the US for the first time, so we will be looking to recruit student leaders – 2 from the US and 2 from Canada from our District.
Essential details: Completely Free; Limited Spots; Deadline for applications Dec 15.
