We really enjoyed working with @IYMP_ca last week. In just a few meetings, we collaborated with their team to co-design and facilitate a workshop that brought together Indigenous-serving youth organizations to support the Indigenous Youth Mentorship Program in urban settings.

Happy Holidays from Action Lab! As 2025 ends, we’re grateful to everyone who connected, created, and sparked new ideas with us. Wishing you a warm, restful holiday season and a new year full of possibilities.
