Youth Information & Programs
Join us for the weekly Youth Drop-In Program.
We get together every week to support each other and celebrate our culture. The program is open to any Toronto-based, self-identifying Aboriginal females, between the ages of 12 and 24.
The Youth Drop-In Program is organised and facilitated by dedicated youth volunteers.
Previous Drop-In activities have included:
- Crafting
- Traditional sharing circles
- Scavenger hunts
- Drum circles
- Reading clubs
- Outings
Contact youth.nwrct@gmail.com for more information.
Join the Youth Council
The Youth Council meets monthly to organize the Drop-In Program and to meet the needs of NWRCT youth. It’s a great way to meet new people and gain loads of volunteer experience through programming that directly supports and empowers Aboriginal girls.
