As a youth worker and educator, anything you can do to ensure your own program space is welcoming and safe for Indigenous youth will help reduce their risk for negative outcomes. An inclusive space, representing Indigenous culture and inviting connection with traditions and community, contributes to a much-needed and vital sense of belonging. This training will help you incorporate Indigenous culture into your work. You will develop confidence to create culturally inclusive programming and encourage supportive dialogue. You’ll learn how to draw on Indigenous tradition and culture to better support young people of various tribal connections in your program spaces.
You’ll learn about various tools and activity examples you can use. This training meets the "Cultural Competency: American Indian" licensure component. This virtual training is being hosted by Anne LaFrinier Ritchie, Safe Harbor Navigator.
