Empowering Our Little Sisters is a mentorship and empowering program that is driven by Aboriginal women for Aboriginal girls aged 7-15. It is designed to encourage girls (primarily in the core area of the City) to gain confidence and self-esteem with a holistic approach. Cultural activities and learning experiences occur regularly for participants.
Volunteers
- Are Aboriginal women or women with experience/interest in this culture
- Have an interest in participating in on-site/community cultural activities
- Have a few hours, twice a month to share
Activities
Each month the matches are provided with one cultural activity where families and matches gather together to share teachings and stories, and participate directly in relevant cultural experiences. Drum making, beading, and feasting are just a few examples.
The second activity during the month is exclusively for volunteers and their Littles, and will be focused on recreational group activities, such as rock climbing, horseback riding, and cooking.
