Lead Your Way! Nomination Call 2006 for outstanding Aboriginal youth role models
Lead Your Way! - Aboriginal youth nominating Aboriginal youth.
Lead Your Way! is the National Aboriginal Role Model Program. We are pleased to announce a Nomination Call for 2006 for Canada's top Aboriginal youth role models.
The National Aboriginal Role Model Program highlights the accomplishments of First Nations, Inuit and Metis youth and it is designed to encourage Aboriginal youth to pursue their dreams. This program is delivered by the National Aboriginal Health Organization (NAHO).
Lead Your Way! will recognize Aboriginal youth who have demonstrated a significant level of innovation, achievement and leadership and who are considered role models by their peers and community members.
Through Lead Your Way!, 12 Aboriginal youth will be chosen as role models for a year.
The Lead Your Way! program will produce posters and trading cards that feature each of the 12 role models. The posters and trading cards will be available to First Nations, Inuit and Metis communities and organizations. As well, the youth role models will visit Aboriginal communities to attend celebrations, school functions, workshops and conferences. The role models will share their stories and experiences with other Aboriginal youth in the hopes of inspiring others to pursue their goals.
