About This Cause
Ka Ni Kanichihk means Those Who Lead and is an Indigenous-led Centre in Winnipeg’s core, with a mandate to provide Indigenous identified programs and services that focus on wholeness and wellness and build on the strengths and resilience of Indigenous peoples. Ka Ni Kanichihk is home to a number of front-line programs that support individual and collective growth and development in adult education, youth job readiness and skills development, mentorship programming and wellness support services. Within a culturally safe environment, our programming helps Indigenous people on their path to being healthy, happy, respected, and included in our community both socially and economically. Programming encompasses adult education and leadership development for Indigenous women and girls, strengthening families, youth job readiness and skills training, child/youth mentorship, guiding trauma recovery, and building cultural awareness, connection and healthy identity. Our programs are embedded in cultural learning as a basis for prevention and in supporting lasting change. The organization has developed effective administration, policies, procedures and tools that assist staff in implementation activities that are purposeful, measurable and have the desired impacts. We manage Contribution Agreements with all levels of Government and have a history of working with community stakeholders and partnerships within the government and community building upon a solid, twenty-year foundation and respected reputation of providing vital and successful programs and services to meet Indigenous community needs. To date, Ka Ni Kanichihk has impacted more than 40,000 lives while consistently balancing its budget, investing in the community and focusing on strong governance.
