| Description: |
An Aboriginal Commitment Coach will work with First Nations, Metis, and Inuit students in three junior high schools to help them build a vision for the future by learning where they have come from, where they are now, and help them establish possibilities for the future. The program aims to build knowledge, skills and confidence in students to complete their elementary and secondary education and move on to post-secondary programs. |
