Zahra lives on xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) territory (Vancouver, BC) and started at Nature United in 2018. She supports Indigenous communities across Canada in running strong and resilient on-the-land/water programs for Indigenous youth, who will be the future stewards of their communities, cultures and territories. This work involves facilitation support, developing tools and resources, and facilitating webinars to support networking between partners. Zahra is currently supporting the YOLO Community in a coordinating role and is excited about how the governance structure of the YOLO Community may evolve – she hopes to one day see this work led by an Indigenous institution and directed by a robust advisory group. Before working for Nature United, Zahra worked in Indigenous education with Vancouver Island University in Snuneymuxw territory (Nanaimo, BC) and in public health in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. She is a K-12 teacher by training and currently studying to become a Registered Clinical Counsellor.
