Steph Woodworth (they/them) is a PhD Candidate in the Department of Geography, Environment and Geomatics at the University of Ottawa, co-supervised by Dr. Sonia Wesche and Dr. Andrew Spring, and is the Project Director at Northern Youth Leadership. For their doctoral research, Steph explored on-the-land camps in the Northwest Territories, which educate and engage northern youth. Specifically, they used photovoice during on-the-land camps with northern youth to capture their experiences of land-based education and their concerns of, and priorities for, changes happening in their communities. As Project Director for Northern Youth Leadership, their vision is to empower and inspire a generation of courageous, young Northern leaders. Northern Youth Leadership programming has two main components (1) on-the-land camps for northern youth (ages 11-17) and (2) a leadership development program, an employment mentorship program for youth aged 14-25. In their PhD research and role as Project Director, Steph works to foster opportunities for youth to connect with the Land, build self-confidence, improve mental health and wellbeing, participate in safe spaces, and strengthen peer networks. Overall, Steph is deeply passionate about empowering and educating youth to be land-based leaders.
