Volunteer Description

Are you a self-identified Indigenous woman or gender-diverse person*? Our talking circle is seeking peer mentors!  

The Indigenous Mentor Circle is a space created by and for Indigenous women and gender-diverse folks. In Circle, you are invited to join in connection and celebration of Indigenous identity, navigate the realities of surviving colonialism and cultivate lasting relationships with Indigenous peers in a community space. 

 

In the program, you will: 

  • Connect with other Indigenous folks, build lasting friendships and engage in discussions on relevant social and personal topics 

  • Grow skills in facilitation, holding space, listening and sharing within a group setting as a peer mentor 

  • Share knowledge and learn alongside peers through crafts, games, conversations, workshops and activities 

  • Celebrate and explore Indigenous identity and culture 

  • Build upon your relationship to yourself, your peers, and your communities 

 

In this program, participants are invited to share their personal medicine while exploring topics of identity, reciprocity, re-Indigenization and solidarity with a community of peers.

 

*We welcome members of the Two-Spirit, Trans, Non-Binary, Queer and Disabled communities
