Organizations and Opportunities for Indigenous Youth
Pathfinder

Introduction | Bibliography | Pathfinder

This pathfinder was created to help Indigenous youth, parents, and educators locate organizations and opportunities for Indigenous youth. I searched for sources that are available free on the Internet. Youth for the purposes of this resource is defined as people falling between the ages of 15-24 years. Opportunities include but are not limited to, programs in education, job training, life skills, sports, and dance. This pathfinder is divided into country regions; however I encourage you to explore all of the links for exemplary organizations and programs in other communities.
