Feathers of Hope seeks stable funding to expand youth programming

Feathers of Hope, an Indigenous youth-led organization, is lobbying the Canadian government for stable core funding to expand its programs supporting First Nations youth. Currently relying on project-specific grants, the organization is seeking at least five core staff positions over three years to enhance its efforts. The organization recently hosted a session on the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and is planning initiatives on youth and the criminal justice system.
