The Youth For Reconciliation (YFR) was a partnership that aimed to build connections, relationships and allyship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous youth and communities. Through experiential learning opportunities, Grade 9-12 students from Markham District High School, Bill Hogarth Secondary School and Eenchokay Birchstick School were brought together to share their perspectives while focusing on several school subjects, particularly literacy, art and technology. This cross-curricular approach allowed the Indigenous and non-Indigenous youth to learn about each other’s lives and deepen their relationships with one another. Social media platforms were used to make personal connections and engage the students in various initiatives. In addition to students, some participants were parents, teachers, and other community members who felt strongly about sharing their experiences and what they knew about Indigenous peoples, cultures, languages, and practices. The YFR began in September 2017 and their work still continues today. For more information, check out their Instagram at @youthforreconciliation. Their website is currently under construction.
