Wasa-Nabin Program
Content
Wasa-Nabin is a self-development program for urban Indigenous youth (ages 13-18).
The goal of the program is to promote cultural identity, self-esteem, educational values and career goals, and to enhance healthy choices for Indigenous and Non-Indigenous youth. We encourage our youth to be leaders and create an environment that allows them to lead other youth through the example of Mino-Bimaadiziwin (live the good life).
