First Nations Youth Summit
In October 2018, over 100 youth from 51 of the 63 Manitoba First nations between the ages of 15 and 30 travelled to Winnipeg to participate in FPDI’s First Nations Youth Summit.
The summit brought the Youth together to discuss and share their visions for what they want to see in their communities that would benefit other Youth.
They learned how to write and submitted a project proposal based on their vision of what would benefit Youth in their respective communities.
In February 2019, the youth submitted their project proposals to ISC. FPDI and ISC assessed the submissions which resulted in all 8 community proposals being successful funded over $4m in community youth projects.
