Whether you are an Indigenous youth, community member, ally, organization or business, there are so many ways to help share hope, culture and strength.
Create a We Matter message!
It’s super easy and your story or message can help others. This can be done by creating a video, artwork (painting, drawing, comic), or written message (poem, rap, short story). Your message can reach someone else who needs to hear it, and when you choose to share your voice, others are encouraged to do the same.
Invite a National Ambassador of Hope to your school or community!
Ambassadors of Hope are Indigenous young people across the country who want to bring healing and change to their communities. They deliver Hope, Culture and Strength Sessions across schools and communities, sharing the message that it is okay and important to talk about hardship, hope and healing.
Meet the current Ambassadors of Hope and learn how to become one or invite one to do a presentation in your community!
Are you an Indigenous Youth?
Ask role models in your community to record and submit a We Matter message
Everyone has a story and we want to hear from your community. Record a message with someone you look up to, to remind youth that they are not alone, and no matter how hard life gets, there is always a way forward.
