Team Leader, Full-Time

The Program

Spirit of Our Youth is a division of Taproot Community Support Services, providing culturally based programming, support, and safe home‑based accommodations to First Nations, Metis and Inuit children and youth, ages 3 through 18. Our trauma‑informed services empower those we serve and help foster community connections with honesty, compassion and respect. Our well‑maintained homes are located in safe neighborhoods, close to schools, playgrounds and transportation. We provide healthy routines, recreational opportunities and transportation. Traditional teachings empower youth to make strong connections with family and community. Each youth has access to culturally knowledgeable staff who can provide individual support and connection to cultural opportunities, including sweats, weekly sharing circles, smudging, pipe ceremonies, feasts, round dances, traditional healing, languages and access to community Elders and Cultural Helpers.
