Youth Life Promotion (YLP)

The Youth Life Promotion Program provides culturally grounded programming that promotes wellness, cultural identity, leadership, life skills, and community connection. Guided by Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit (IQ) principles, the program creates opportunities for youth to build positive relationships, strengthen resilience, develop practical skills, and take part in meaningful cultural and recreational activities. Programming may include cultural workshops, sewing, beading, Inuit games, sharing circles, peer mentorship, leadership opportunities, recreation, homework support, and community events. The program also connects youth with community resources and other support when needed. Referrals are accepted from internal and external sources, including self-referrals, families, schools, community partners, service providers, and other Inuuqatigiit programs.
