Weshkiniijig (Anishinabek Youth Program)
Weshkiniijig, Anishinabek Nation’s Youth Program, began in 2018 with the goal of enhancing the leadership of both youth, and those that work with youth, through the:
- Youth Life Promotion (YLP) Program
- Funded by the Ministry of Health; YLP is based on the belief that all young people are capable of finding their own path to a meaningful life. Programs and services are holistic, strengths-based, and empowerment focused, while aiming to honor youth individuality.
- Youth Culture Camp (YCC) Program
- Funded by the Ministry of Heritage, Sport, Tourism and Culture Industries; YCC creates culturally relevant experiences that revitalize cultural knowledge in Indigenous youth aged 8-29 years old.
Weshkiniijig supports all 39 Anishinabek First Nations with implementation and development of annual work plans and activities for the YLP and YCC Programs.
