Programs
Esquao Youth and Adult Leadership Development
Esquao currently offers two leadership development programs—one supporting youth, and the other open to adults.
Youth Leadership Development
The Youth Leadership Program aims to support individuals aged 13-29 by helping them connect with their peers, build confidence, and establish a mentorship network. The program focuses on fostering creative and innovative skill development through shared experiences—promoting a sense of cultural belonging and connection—emphasizing mental and physical health, teamwork, and goal setting.
Leadership Development
The objective of the Supporting Beyond Consultation Project is to empower Indigenous women and Two-Spirit+ people to take on leadership roles in committees, boards, and councils. Speaking events, networking opportunities, and workshops are organized to support and mentor participants—helping them build the confidence to step into these positions and drive change in areas identified as underrepresented by the Indigenous community.
