The Dreamcatchers Youth
Program (DYP) empowers Aboriginal Youth through holistic and culturally
appropriate youth driven programs and services. DYP instills traditional
Aboriginal values that address the emotional, physical, mental and spiritual
needs of Urban Aboriginal Youth.
DYP offers programming that
will help build the skills and mental capacity of our future leaders.
Youth can build on skills that will assist to increase educational performance,
finding employment, developing leadership qualities, and instill life
skills.
Positive interaction among
peers is a major component for healthy growth. Recreational activities
ensure this growth can occur, while promoting healthy living.
Cultural activities and community
involvement programs offer spiritual exploration for youth. Traditional
knowledge, languages, culture and identity are the well balanced holistic
approaches used to create the programs offered within DYP.
Healthy living, youth leadership
and community involvement are components in the programming for emotional
support and development of participants by developing self-esteem, healing
and instilling leadership.
DYP is a tool for Urban Aboriginal
Youth to reclaim their inherent right to dream and to turn those dreams
into reality.
GET INVOLVED - To be effective,
the Dreamcatchers Youth Program needs to be run by and for our youth.
If you are between the ages of 14 and 24 years, and have great ideas
and would like to make a difference for the Youth in your community,
then why not join the Dreamcatchers Youth Council?
Please be patient while we get the program back to operational status.
