Selected youth participants will share a short speech in Anishinaabemowin telling a story that has shaped them and honouring a hero or role model who inspires their life journey.

Families are encouraged to support and walk alongside youth in preparing their stories. A hotel room will be provided to the students selected along with a monetary scholarship award and a framed certificate.

If you know a youth who would benefit from this opportunity — or if you are a youth who wants to share your voice — we warmly invite you to participate.
