Youth leadership is at the heart of the Flotilla for Friendship.
Purpose
Through the Indigenous Youth Leadership Working Group, young people have an opportunity to share their ideas, help shape the event and bring their perspectives into the planning and delivery of the Flotilla.
The goal is to create meaningful opportunities for Indigenous youth to lead, connect and contribute while building relationships with community organizations and first responders.
