ICA is committed to supporting, empowering, and amplifying the voices of Indigenous youth. In December of 2020, ICA released a “Youth Needs Assessment” identifying the motivations and challenges faced by Indigenous youth engaged in climate and Indigenous rights advocacy work. The assessment is directing the future of our Youth Program to make it relevant to the needs, experiences, and aspirations of Indigenous youth.
ICA heard from youth across Turtle Island – including 82 online survey participants and 4 focus group participants. We would like to thank the youth for sharing their stories and wisdom – we are inspired by their powerful leadership, enthusiasm, and resiliency.
