The Youth Ambassador Program
The Gord Downie & Chanie Wenjack Fund (DWF) is excited to offer the DWF Youth Ambassador Program in partnership with RBC Future Launch again this summer. We are looking for 100 youth participants! This program will offer the youth the opportunity to gain practical work experience, network, strengthen 21st-century skills, and gain leadership experience while learning about DWF and learn from Indigenous peoples about their diverse worldviews, knowledge, rights, and perspectives throughout Canada.
This 4-week leadership training program, engage 100 Indigenous and non-Indigenous youth online, in part-time work that will support them to become champions of reconciliation in their schools and communities.
At the end of the program, the youth participants will receive a $1000 honorarium for their participation and have the chance to make lasting change through our new volunteer Youth Ambassador Committee. The Youth Ambassador Committee helps to guide DWF programming and champion our work.
