Short Term Learning Program
This program is designed to nurture healing, empower youth, and foster leadership.
For nearly a decade, we have offered a two-week immersion experience in a northern Indigenous community. In the past 10 years, more than 100 people have participated in the program, ranging in age from 18 to 70 years old.
Through joint activities shared by the visiting participants and youth from the hosting community, something special happens. Barriers dissolve, friendships form and self-confidence grows. Appreciation for the beauty and importance of nature, of the community, and of each other is built. With a stronger sense of self and mutually respectful connections, healthier communities emerge, and everyone grows.
Your Gifts at Work
Our hope is to have young adults, other adults, couples, and families serving in indigenous communities across the north for 1-3 years. Currently, we are working closely with a number of communities, with plans to expand as resources become available.
The annual cost that covers flight, insurance, accommodation, food, program material and a moderate wage is more than $85,000 per person.
The Fundraising Goal for this Program is $500,000 per year.
