REPRESENT URBAN ABORIGINAL YOUTH ISSUES!

JOIN THIS COUNCIL!

The Aboriginal Youth Advisory Council will guide the RedWAY. (Website for Aboriginal Youth) initiative.
 
We will create a one-stop website for all resources available to help our Urban Native Youth, who are either living here or coming to live in the Lower Mainland areas. This project includes designing, writing content for and helping to build contacts for our cool website, and gathering articles for an electronic magazine…an E-Zine.
