Hi, my name is James Wood, my son Devin Wood has been selected to take part in an amazing National Youth Program through Katimavik (Katimavik.org).
As part of this process they encourage all selected members to meet a fund raising goal of $1000 to assist this amazing non-profit meet it's programming goals.
We are asking for our village to help with our family and enable Devin to meet this goal. This is a true life changing experience and opportunity for him. Thank you in advance for your support!
What is it?
This fully-immersive 5.5 month program brings together 11 young adults who share and manage a Katimavik house while living in two different communities. The group will be accompanied by a Project Leader, who resides in the house to mentor the life-changing experience.
The Katimavik National Experience challenges youth to make a positive impact in each of the communities while also developing a vast set of skills and competencies. Throughout the 5.5 months, participants are very busy and can expect to participate fully in the following:
- Volunteering 30 hours a week at local non-profit organizations;
- Learning about Indigenous peoples in Canada and engaging in meaningful truth and reconciliation initiatives;
- Team building and collaboration;
- Designing and implementing community projects;
- Managing all aspects of the Katimavik house, including daily meal preparation;
- Plan cultural discovery, group outings and fun activities during evenings and weekends.
