Roots & Wings
A 5-day youth empowerment experience for First Nations youth
Program Overview

This immersive 5-day experience supports mental wellness, confidence, healthy relationships, and cultural pride — while keeping youth actively engaged through games, creative projects, group challenges, and meaningful conversations.
