SCHOOLS + CoMMUNITIES
Where confidence knows no bounds.
By working together with communities to deliver programs to Indigenous youth where they live, we overcome common barriers to participation like geographic isolation and socio-economic limitations.
Working in partnership, during the 2024-25 season, Spirit North delivered programs to over 18,500 Indigenous youth in 106 communities and 172 schools, across BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and the Northwest Territories – and we’re just getting started.
From Coast to Coast to Coast
Spirit North is growing in both reach and impact. What began as a small network of community partnerships has expanded into a national movement connecting thousands of Indigenous youth to the joy of sport, play, and the land. Guided by co-creation with communities, our programs now span more regions, involve more local leaders, and reflect deeper relationships built on respect, reciprocity, and shared purpose.
“Spirit North has been foundational to our school’s most positive experiences over the past six years. Programs are embedded in the rhythm of the school and deeply valued by staff and students. ”
