Supports can include help making and getting to crucial appointments, assistance with resume writing and job applications, pregnancy and parenting support, and access to sports and recreation.
That’s the thinking behind the Victoria Native Friendship Centre’s Youth Services Team, which offers one-on-one support to help Indigenous youth ages 12 to 24 overcome barriers and build resiliency.
The youth program employs four Indigenous youth support workers, who carry average caseloads of 15 youth at a time, offering one-on-one support as well as 2SLGBTQIA+ programming.Youth can self-refer to the program, or be referred by family and professionals.The program recently received a $30,000 grant from the Victoria Foundation, but more funding is needed to keep up with demand, says the co-ordinator, noting the program has a long wait list.
The Friendship Centre is also working on expanding the hours of its 2SLBTQIA+ youth drop-in, which currently runs once a month. “We would love to see this running more regularly eventually, as well as we are working on increasing engagement.” “We recognize that our youth are the future and are the ones carrying our culture and ways of life forward,” she said.
