PAST SESSIONS
COMMUNITY PROJECTS
Network members need an outlet for action. That's why the Network is currently developing a Project Stream which will support Network members to take what they learn and the connections they make, and together enact change in their communities. This could look like:
- One-on-one project mentorship for Network members who become "Project Creators"
- Project support from within the Arctic Youth Wellbeing Network team
- Financial support through micro-grants for the initiatives of "Project Creators"
If you want to help youth to deliver initiatives that create positive impacts in their communities, connect with us about the AYWN Project Stream.
