53 days and counting until the Gathering Our Voices Aboriginal Youth Conference kicks off in the traditional territory of the Lheidli T’enneh (Prince George, BC).

Our goal for the conference is simple: give youth the tools to work towards a better tomorrow by improving themselves and the world in which they live. This event is guided by a council of Youth who set the theme and content. 

We are pleased to announce the inclusion of the first annual BC Aboriginal Youth Social Enterprise Contest. The contest is open to all Aboriginal youth (age 14 to 29) living in B.C. There are three categories and finalists will win a free trip to Gathering Our Voices 2015 along with significant cash prizes.

Visit the Gathering Our Voices website here for more details on the conference and to register. GOV is hosted by the BC Association of Aboriginal Friendship Centers.

The early registration deadline is February 6, 2015.
