"To ensure the best possible future for our people you must lead the way"
Patrick Brazeau,
National Chief,
Congress of Aboriginal Peoples
CAP has long been committed to the advancement of Canada’s Aboriginal youth and is dedicated to ensuring that through our National Youth Council, Aboriginal youth have an active voice in ALL decisions made on behalf of the organization. The principal mandate of the CAP National Youth Council is to improve the well-being of off-reserve Aboriginal youth through:
-
Raising awareness about Aboriginal youth issues
-
Encouraging the development and establishment of infrastructure and programs/services directed at social, cultural and community needs of Aboriginal youth
-
Creating and providing opportunities for positive change for Aboriginal Youth and their communities through empowerment, education, culture and training
CAP encourages all Aboriginal youth to participate actively at the regional and provincial level through its Affiliates. It is the CAP Affiliates who either elect or appoint members to the CAP National Youth Council, who in turn, serve in many capacities within the CAP umbrella structure, including CAP internal/external committee’s, conferences and meetings, the CAP National Caucuses and one vote on the CAP Board of Directors. It is the CAP National Youth Council who elects a National Youth Representative who is mandated to represent and bring forward the voice of Aboriginal youth to the Congress of Aboriginal Peoples and its Affiliates.
In addition to incorporating Aboriginal youth needs into all aspects of policy initiatives including those related to education, economic development, human rights, health, and the environment, CAP is also engaged in activities that are geared specifically to youth, such as the National Aboriginal Youth Suicide Prevention Strategy (NAYSPS).
