Oskatis Nigaaniiwemowin, or "The Way of the Young Leader" in Anishinaabemowin, is the name given to our Young Leaders Circle. This Circle is a community of Indigenous young people between the ages of 14-35, from various regions across Turtle Island and beyond who share a common interest in supporting youth in their communities.
The Young Leaders Circle is a space where Indigenous youth can learn from each other and work collaboratively to address the challenges facing Indigenous youth today. Through reciprocal sharing and teaching, the Circle supports its members in developing skills, exploring challenges, and celebrating successes in youth life promotion work. One of the unique features of the Young Leaders Circle is its focus on advising on our organizational decisions and program design.
The Young Leaders Circle meets seasonally, engaging in networking, training, and cultural teachings. These gatherings provide opportunities for Indigenous youth to connect with each other, share their experiences and insights, and learn from respected Elders and Knowledge Keepers. Overall, the Young Leaders Circle is a dynamic and empowering community of Indigenous youth who are committed to making a positive difference in the lives of their peers and communities. Through their work together, these young leaders are helping to shape the future of Indigenous communities across Turtle Island and beyond!
