Do you self-identify as Indigenous?
Do you have a strong desire to create positive change in your community/organization?
Yes? Then this training is for you! We designed this program to focus on how climate change is impacting our communities and our rights and empower and uplift Indigenous peoples to become climate change leaders in their own communities.
“Awesome program. Strong content delivered in a way that I will retain. I think this actually changed my life and how I see things profoundly. Every participant really taught me so much, and I feel extremely grateful to have taken the program. Miigwech”
