$421,000.00

Sep 1, 2023 - Mar 31, 2026

Through this 31-month project, Partners for Youth will develop and put in place an Indigenous youth-led healthy relationship program to strengthen the GBV sector in New Brunswick. It will address teen healthy relationships from an Indigenous perspective by engaging Indigenous youth as leaders, facilitators and participants in the project’s development and implementation. The project’s youth leadership team will develop and implement workshops, activities and community action plans with the support of the organization’s staff, Elders and community partners. An external evaluator will measure and assess the impact of the promising practice. Partners for Youth will prepare an information document for WAGE’s GBV Learning Centre to share the promising practice with others so that they may replicate it or expand upon it.

Gender-Based Violence Program

The purpose of the GBV Program is to strengthen the GBV sector to address gaps in supports for two groups of survivors: 1) Indigenous women and their communities, and 2) underserved populations (including women living with a disability, non-status/refugee /immigrant women, LGBTQ2S, gender non-conforming people and ethno-cultural women) in Canada. The Program provides grant and contribution funding to Canadian organizations to improve supports to help create long-term, comprehensive solutions at the national, regional, and local levels.
