Youth Council

Comprised of 11 Indigenous youth aged 14 to 30 currently living in the Greater Montreal Area with a desire to be engaged in their community.

A self-directed group, the council provides an exciting opportunity for young people to focus on the issues important to them while making an impact on the lives of other urban indigenous youth.

Membership to the Native Montreal Youth Council will mean taking on a formal role within Native Montreal to guide decision-making while accessing training and skills development.

The Native Montreal Youth Council cohort Registration will open again in September 2025

Enjoy watching Storytellers below, a 90 minute documentary project produced by the 2023-24 Youth Council

Throughout the documentary, the audience will gain insight into each youth's journey of reconnecting with their Indigenous culture(s). Each storyteller chose a topic they wanted to explore, discuss with Elders, and share with other Indigenous youth. The four chapters delve into topics that are deeply meaningful to the youth and can sometimes be overwhelming. The youth hope that the audience can relate, reflect, and further learn about their own culture.
