A central part of multiculturalism is our youth learning to love their own culture, learn healing relationships through a cultural lens, and uplifting the cultural community. Roots to Rise is a culture centered program and encourages youth to explore Indigenous culture and their own specific cultural roots as a means for nurturing a positive identity and gaining strength and confidence to carry on their cultural values for their own personal wellness and for strong communities.
