Calling all Indigenous youth (18-30) – Applications are now OPEN!!

National Ambassadors of Hope are young Indigenous leaders who are trained and supported to feel comfortable speaking about mental health, personal stories, and Indigenous youth challenges. They promote and share hope in their community, as well as regionally and nationally – speaking in communities, schools, and at gatherings. There are also opportunities to engage with youth and communities online to encourage and create dialogue about Indigenous youth mental wellbeing and hope, culture and strength.

National Ambassadors of Hope live by example in order to inspire and connect with other Indigenous youth, break mental health and suicide stigma, and promote healthy communities.

If you are ready to connect, uplift, and inspire, apply today!

Deadline to Apply: May 12, 2025, 11:59 p.m.
