From its early days as the Native Council of Canada to present, the Congress of Aboriginal Peoples has long supported Aboriginal youth. In this regard, CAP recognizes the importance of youth inclusion into all aspects of its body politic. To better meet the needs and address the issues of Aboriginal youth, CAP maintains an Aboriginal youth portfolio. Through this portfolio, the voice of Aboriginal youth is bought forward and included in the national agenda.
The CAP Aboriginal youth portfolio includes direct involvement with the CAP Board of Directors and CAP Affiliates, the CAP National Caucuses (Indian and Metis), CAP internal committees (such as the Health Advisory Committee), as well as any external committee’s, conferences and meetings that focus upon or impact Aboriginal youth. Additionally, the CAP Aboriginal youth portfolio supports the CAP National Youth Council and Aboriginal youth specific initiatives and projects (such as the CAP Annual Youth Achievement Awards).
