Indigenous Youth Voices to host Mountains & Medicine winter program in Wyoming and Idaho
Indigenous Youth Voices has announced that it will hold its annual Mountains & Medicine Snowboarding Trip March 4–7 in Jackson, Wyoming, and Teton Valley, Idaho. The leadership-centered program is open to Indigenous youth ages 14–28 and includes lodging, meals, gear and scheduled activities at no cost, according to event materials.
The itinerary includes snowboarding with Indigenous instructors and mentors, a Youth Climate Futures Summit, cultural programming, storytelling circles and land stewardship education. Participants will also attend a public Climate Futures event and visit Astoria Park Hot Springs. Organizers state that space is limited and participants will be selected based on readiness and willingness to engage. Submission of the registration form serves as both registration and waiver, with adults consenting for themselves and parents or guardians consenting for minors.
