Our work is only possible through donations, grants, and sales of our Indigenous handmade chocolates and treats.
This holiday season, Youth4Youth Canada was honoured to take part in the December 2025 NAC Adàwàning: Indigenous Women’s Art Market. This market brought together artists, families, and community members to celebrate creativity, culture, and connection. It was a wonderful opportunity to fundraise for our Kisac Cultural workshops for Indigenous youth <25 years old in the Ottawa area. Our 2026 workshops will continue to focus on youth leadership, wellness, skills building and peer support.
We’re so proud to share how Youth4Youth Canada (Y4Y) came together as vendors and performers at the MNC’s 2025 Annual General Assembly (AGA) in Ottawa... and how that gathering helped us carry forward our dual mission of culture and care.
We were honoured to be invited to the Indigenous Women’s Arts Conference 2025 as both performers and vendors. This gathering brings together Indigenous women from urban, rural, and on- and off-reserve communities, and it has grown into an important space for culture, learning, and empowerment. Since 2019, the conference has welcomed more than a thousand visitors and supported over 50 Indigenous women artists and educators. It felt powerful to be part of that circle.
Youth4Youth Canada extends our sincere gratitude to the NAC Indigenous Theatre Team for providing us with the space to fundraise at the Summer Indigenous Art Market on June 6. This vibrant event celebrated Indigenous culture and showcased the incredible talents of Métis, Inuit, and First Nations artists.
We are excited to announce that the Ontario Native Women's Association (ONWA) has chosen to support our parent organization, Youth4Youth Canada (Y4Y), for 2025.
We just finished up a rush order for our handmade Indigenous chocolates and mini blueberry bannock loaves for a local conference.
A HUGE thank you to all of the organizations who place orders with us. Youth4Youth Canada is a youth-founded, female-managed grassroots organization. Your support is what allows us to fund Y4Y initiatives, including our Kîšâc cultural workshops! 🥰
