We Are Not the Leaders of Tomorrow
We Are the Leaders of Today.

The Inaugural Hope and Health Youth Council represents a significant step in formalizing a youth-led vision for the future. It is a space where young leaders gather, dream big, share their voices, and help shape what comes next for our organization, our communities, and the next generation.

Rooted in Indigenous ways of knowing and guided by the principles of belonging, relationship, and collective action, the Youth Council brings together young people from diverse communities to braid their experiences, perspectives, and aspirations into meaningful action. Whether gathered around a leadership table, on a mini pitch, in a community hall, or within their own Nations and neighbourhoods, these spaces become places where confidence grows, relationships deepen, and futures are imagined.

Together we are:
✨Braiding Voices. Honouring diverse perspectives and lived experiences.
✨Building Belonging. Creating safe and welcoming spaces where every young person can thrive.
✨Creating Change. Turning ideas into action and inspiring stronger communities through youth leadership.
✨Building a movement. A movement where young people lead young people.

A movement where community spaces become places of connection and possibility.
A movement where today’s youth help shape tomorrow’s future.

We are honoured to stand beside and for these youth as they guide our organization to be the most innovative and connected to the humans we serve going forward 🧡
