NWAC respects the voice of youth and recognizes the critical role youth have in our communities. Youth participate in all activities of the organization and focus on issues affecting Aboriginal young women across Canada through the work of the NWAC Youth Council and activities of NWAC Youth Department. As a national organization, NWAC presently offers programming in support of Aboriginal youth through the positions and associated activities of the Youth Intervenor program funded by Human Resources and Skills Development Canada and the National Aboriginal Youth Suicide Prevention Strategy funded by the First Nations and Inuit Health Branch.

For more information on the Youth Program or the Youth Council, please contact NWAC’s CDC-Youth Pauline Huppie-Parsons at 613.722.3033 ext. 230 or 1.800.461.4043.
