A message from a young man in Bunibonibee Cree Nation

There are no shortcuts when reaching youth. We travel a long way to get there, so it’s not surprising that we pack a lot into our visits.

—
Motivational assembly: It’s 60 minutes of storytelling, engaging media and student interaction.
—
Sharing circles: In sharing circles, everyone has the chance to listen and be heard.
—
Youth empowerment workshops: Our workshops teach key lifestyle values and instill hope for the future.
—
Community engagement: We invite Elders to share their wisdom and stories with students, fostering connection and cultural learning.

Impact

We have connected with students from over 119 First Nations across Canada.

Exceptional programming, designed for Indigenous communities.

"LiveDifferent helped students step out of their shells and connect in a way I’ve never seen before. It was amazing to see them open up, share their stories, and build real, human-to-human connections."

Indigenous youth making an impact abroad

These trips foster cultural exchange, leadership, and personal growth, as youth contribute to creating brighter futures while discovering the power of service and connection.
