Lifeskills for indigenous community members

🌱Signups Close Today!🌱

If you haven’t signed up for this training yet, this is your last chance!

We have limited spots left!

This training is happening next Saturday from 10am-6pm at Native American LifeLines Boston. Youth mentors and community workers can be trained in evidence-based curriculum that will provide them with tools and resources to facilitate conversations for youth on the importance of living a healthy lifestyle and staying off substances.

This is such a meaningful way to give back to your community. You will receive ongoing support and resources from Ohketeau. Best of all you will be invited to be trained in a curriculum based on Circle Tied to Mother Earth booklet that helps to translate this Life Skills curriculum in a way that is relevant to our Indigenous youth.

Ohketeau is paying for this training through a HRiA grant but it is free to you along with lunch and snacks. Also a big shout out for Unity Circles with supporting various costs for this training! We can also support with transportation cost and thanks to Native Lifelines this is easily accessible through public transportation in Boston.
