OIYPP's goal is to create a community of celebrated Indigenous youth leading work that responds to the dynamic needs and priorities of their communities.
This work is done in partnership with a network of individuals, organizations and funders who all share a commitment to the values of OIYPP.
This work is done in partnership with a network of individuals, organizations and funders who all share a commitment to the values of OIYPP.
Since 2015, we have achieved this in three ways:
- Providing direct financial, mentorship and capacity support to indigenous youth to explore and execute their own ideas;
- Building reciprocal relationships between Indigenous youth and a community of support including individuals, organizations and funders.
- Increasing awareness amongst the sector of philanthropy’s on-going role in colonization and in response pushing for change according to our learnings and values
The partnership is deeply rooted in reciprocity and shared ownership focusing on mutual learning experiences to build strong, equal and lasting relationships between everyone involved.
OIYPP is a project of Makeway Charitable Society to learn more please visit www.makeway.org
