In the Lead is a strength-based leadership and character-building program for youth who may struggle to see, use and believe in their natural leadership abilities.
In the Lead has been working with youth in Calgary since 2011 and has given 1000 young people the chance to transform their views of themselves, their communities and their futures.
With respect, gratitude, and accountability, Calgary Youth Justice Society acknowledges the traditional lands of the Blackfoot Confederacy which includes the Siksika, Kainai, Piikani Nations, the Îyârhe Nakoda Nation, Tsuut’ina Nation, the Métis Nation of Alberta, Districts 5 & 6, and we honour all people who make their homes in the Treaty 7 region of Southern Alberta.
We see and celebrate the many strengths of Indigenous people and commit to reflect upon and change our ways of knowing, being, and doing so that we can truly work towards reconciliation in a meaningful way.
