WELAMUKOTUK YOUTH

 Our youth are the future leaders of Welamukotuk First Nation. They carry the spirit of our people forward with their creativity, energy, and determination. As they walk their paths in education, culture, and community life, we work together to ensure they are supported every step of the way.

• Future Leaders – Youth are encouraged to take pride in their Wolastoqey identity and to step into leadership roles within the community.
• Culture Carriers – By learning our language, songs, and traditions, youth help keep Wolastoqey ways of life strong for generations to come.
• Community Builders – Through sports, education, work, and volunteering, our youth bring new ideas and energy to strengthen our Nation.
   

Welamukotuk First Nation is dedicated to creating opportunities that help our young people thrive. From education and employment training to cultural programs and recreational activities, we invest in youth so they can build bright futures while staying connected to their roots.
