Bent Arrow - Coyote Pride Mentoring Program

Coyote Pride is a mentoring (buddy) program for Aboriginal pre-teens in grades 7 to 9. Youth participate in cultural activities with mentors. Mentors encourage youth to have a healthy lifestyle though traditional teachings and positive role model behavior.

Coyote Pride matches Aboriginal youth and Aboriginal mentors who emphasize the importance of education and cultural values. Groups are established at each school that is a part of the program. Activities include:

• Recruiting and supporting Aboriginal people from the community to become mentors.
• Providing necessary training and resources for mentors.
• Offering traditional teachings about values, beliefs, ceremonies, and an increased pride in culture.
• Connecting cultural advisors and Elders who support and attend the program.
• Develop an Advisory Committee to evaluate the effectiveness of the program.
