About This Cause
At Indigenous Youth Roots IYR (previously Canadian Roots Exchange [CRE]), we envision a future where Indigenous youth are empowered and connected as dynamic leaders in vibrant and thriving communities. We are one of the leading national organizations responding to the Truth and Reconciliation’s Call to Action 66. Since 2008, as a national Indigenous youth-led organization, we have directly engaged with over 15,000 youth and have empowered them to run their own programs, to participate in IYR programming and we have provided opportunities to build relationships and nurture various skillsets. Additionally, we have supported over 330 grant projects with $6.4M in funding; these funded projects have reached over 150,000 people in communities from coast to coast to coast. With your support, we’re creating lasting, positive change across Canada. Reconciliation is a process that all Canadians need to take part in as we work toward a future where Indigenous youth are empowered, and non-Indigenous youth stand in solidarity with them to promote reciprocaity, advocacy, respect and reconciliation.
