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.
