Application (English)

There is so much in different Aboriginal (First Nations, Métis and Inuit) history and teachings that supports healthy sexuality. And many Aboriginal traditions have always recognized the power behind youth voice. Yet there is a huge lack of culturally relevant information about HIV, which affects Aboriginal youth and their communities at sweeping rates across Canada. We know though that lots of youth are involved in trying to change things!

Have you ever been

  • part of an event about HIV, drugs, poverty, human rights, justice, Aboriginal rights, sexual health, or violence?
  • a volunteer or peer outreach worker?
  • part of a sexual health, HIV or harm reduction committee or group?
  • a helper or organizer of a workshop, event, or fundraiser about HIV?
  • a speaker on a panel about living with HIV or supporting someone who is positive?
  • part of any effort to spread the word about HIV?

We are seeking MOTIVATED, PASSIONATE and ENERGETIC ABORIGINAL YOUTH to share their stories about HIV leadership or activism to become a TAKING ACTION YOUTH LEADER!

Selected leaders will:

  • Get an all expenses paid trip to Toronto to learn about how to create a “digital story” short movie, and assistance with widely distributing their films to national and international audiences.
  • Receive a “Flip Camera” to use throughout this project
  • Meet other Aboriginal youth leaders from across Canada and join the national network of young people who have begun TAKING ACTION! on HIV in their local communities
  • Be supported to host a movie night in their own community to showcase their work
  • Learn about community based research
  • Receive a $1,000 honoraria

Successful candidates will participate in:

  1. monthly teleconferences/internet chats between March-June 2012
  2. a week-long Youth Leaders Retreat in Toronto in July 2012
  3. hosting one movie night in their own community between September 2012 and September 2013
  4. opportunities to learn about community based research and share their work All Aboriginal youth are encouraged to apply! Although not a requirement, please note that preference will be given to Aboriginal youth who are HIV positive and/or who have experience or a strong interest in sexual health/HIV prevention work.
