About the Program
Qushintul creates opportunities for youth to learn, connect and spend time together in supportive environments.
Programming brings together everyday life skills, cultural activities, recreation and one-to-one support. Youth Workers also maintain an established relationship with School District 79, connecting with youth in schools each week and supporting academic achievement and Indigenous youth leadership.
Community outreach is available for youth who identify areas of their lives where they would like additional support.

Working Together
Qushintul Youth Workers connect with youth both in schools and throughout the community.
Through an ongoing relationship with School District 79, Youth Workers provide weekly mentorship and academic support and participate in the Youth Indigenous Leadership Program, including monthly youth meetings and its annual conference.
Outside of school, outreach gives youth another way to connect with a Youth Worker around the things happening in their lives.
