March 29/23 - Voices of Youth Indigenous Leaders 2023
Indigenous youth have powerful voices — and senators want to hear them!
June is National Indigenous History Month, a time to particularly honour the history, heritage and diversity of Indigenous peoples in Canada. The Senate Committee on Indigenous Peoples is excited to launch Voices of Youth Indigenous Leaders 2023 to spotlight the strengths of present-day First Nations, Métis and Inuit communities and their inspirational young leaders.
The theme of this year’s event is Indigenous education. The committee wants to hear how Indigenous youth have experienced education in all forms, including public and private, traditional and non-traditional Indigenous education and/or post-secondary. Are you a young Indigenous leader who has broken glass ceilings within the education system? Do you have a vision for how education fosters leadership in First Nations, Métis and Inuit communities? Have you faced barriers while pursuing university degrees or completing high school diplomas? The committee wants to hear from you!
Applicants to Voices of Youth Indigenous Leaders 2023 are invited to submit a short text (500 words), formally known as a “brief,” that will inform the committee’s work. Some participants will also be invited to attend an official committee meeting in June 2023 to highlight their leadership efforts.
Indigenous youth leaders, aged 18 to 35, are invited to share their experiences, stories and visions.
Send your submission by end of day, Sunday, April 9, 2023, and you could be invited to meet committee members in Ottawa!
