Grants and Contributions:
The expected outcomes of the Neqotkuk Soaring Eagles Youth Wellness 3-Year Innovative Response Project 2015-2018 is an increase in self‑esteem and self-worth to counter the impact of normalized violence and abuse in the community. This will encourage youth towards independence and healthy relationships with self and others and will also empower them to explore leadership skills. Support and mentoring youth workers will enable them to become gender role models and peer mentors through program delivery.
The amendment was to extend the end date, increase the funding by $39,960 and to allow for additional activities to take place.
The purpose of the contributions is to provide support to Aboriginal organizations (on and off-reserve), Aboriginal governments and municipalities in collaboration with Aboriginal organizations and or communities to develop tailored approaches to community safety, alternatives to incarceration and reintegration of Aboriginal offenders that are responsive to the concerns, priorities and unique circumstances of Aboriginal communities.
