Partnering to support older youth
In Treaty 7 Spirit North has a unique community partnership that exists to create access to play and sport-based programming for older youth, typically between 18 and 30. The Howl Experience helps youth navigate questions around what’s next after high school and gives young people experiences to help them discover more about themselves without having to leave their community.
