The NunatuKavut Community Council (NCC) is thrilled to introduce the NunatuKavut Youth Action Project (NYAP). Funded by the Service Canada Corps, it is a two-year project that helps youth gain marketable skills, confidence and experience through transformative volunteer work.
NYAP promotes civic and democratic engagement among youth and strengthens their resilience by providing them with opportunities to gain knowledge, skills, and experience to make a positive contribution to their communities. It helps them build strong relationships with community groups and organizations and help increase their knowledge of NunatuKavut Inuit history and culture. Over the coming months, participants will receive certification in a variety of areas.
