About this service
The word Iiyikakimaat, which means to try hard in Blackfoot, was gifted to the agency after consultation with elders. The Iiyikakimaat program provides Indigenous youth an opportunity to reach their full potential through culturally-relevant and leadership-specific components and activities.
The program runs September through June, Monday through Thursday from 4:00pm to 8:00pm.
A key focus of our program is to encourage a youths sense of belonging and social inclusion from an Indigenous worldview by utilizing a strength-based approach to support the youths achievements, provide motivation, school engagement and positive view of their personal future.
Using the Circle of Courage framework, a variety of cultural, recreational and informal mentorship opportunities are incorporated into the program with the intent to provide a positive outlet to explore their true potential. Mentorship can be one-on-one, informal, outreach or cultural and service connections.
