Drop-in Centre for Indigenous and Newcomer Youth in Winnipeg

Canadian Heritage has committed $220,000 for the Drop-in Centre over the next two years in Winnipeg as part of its anti-racism campaign. The Centre's purpose is to create a Safe Space for Indigenous and immigrant youth to nurture positive relationships. Altered Minds Inc has hired a part-time Project Coordinator and 2 Facilitators – one from Indigenous and one from an immigrant background – to manage the Youth Drop-in Centre and oversee the 'Safe Spaces' project.
