Space in Leadership
f i n d i n g o u r
I am so excited, because I see how much leadership is
out there within Indigenous youth. When you are in it,
you feel this bubbling, you feel this energy that is going
and it's really exciting because things are changing.

I think teaching young
people how to be leaders,
how to respond using their
morals and values is not
just going to make people
stronger and empowered,
it will make people happy.
Becoming a leader is
essential for Indigenous
youth all over Canada
and this comes in many
different forms; everyone is
a leader in their own way.
We just need to help youth
identify their strengths and
make sure these strengths
help bring them to
their dreams.

Why is it important for Indigenous youth to gain leadership opportunities? What gifts
do you bring to your community?
