The Coming Home Society is excited to announce the birth of a brand new
initiative called “Wisdom of Elders”
The Coming Home Society is providing the means to offer this innovative program that
brings together a core group of Aboriginal Elders with at-risk inner city youth to share
their cultural and spiritual teachings. The Elders will hold group sessions and also spend
one-to-one time with the many vulnerable youth who are isolated from their grandparents,
aunties, and uncles who are the traditional sources of wisdom and support.
The Wisdom of Elders program we are funding is a vital component of Urban Native
Youth Association’s new holistic Native Youth Health and Wellness Centre. Struggling Aboriginal youth desperately need the spiritual care, the guidance, and the cultural belonging that Elders can provide
Please help us support the work of the Elders, who have suffered greatly yet have
so much to offer. And share our faith in the resiliency of Aboriginal youth who
are reaching out to reclaim their spiritual and cultural heritage. It is healing,
reconciling work that will change the painful past into a hope-filled future!
