Empowering Indigenous Youth in Environmental Education
Welcome to Haven Family Resource Center, where we are dedicated to supporting and empowering the Indigenous youth community. We are excited to introduce the EcoTruths for Indigenous Youth – Spring 2023 program, an immersive and educational experience designed to foster environmental awareness among our young Indigenous leaders.
The Importance of Environmental Education
Environmental education plays a vital role in shaping the future of our planet. By equipping our Indigenous youth with knowledge and understanding of environmental issues, we empower them to become active participants in sustainable practices, conservation efforts, and environmental decision-making processes. Through the EcoTruths program, we aim to nurture a sense of environmental stewardship and instill a deep appreciation for the natural world.
