MOA Native Youth Program

Greetings!

We are currently recruiting Native youth from the ages of 15-18 for the MOA Native Youth Program, which runs out of the Museum of Anthropology at UBC. This program is a collaborative work-study program that hires 6 Indigenous youth from July 4th until August 16th. Participants will be given the opportunity to learn about traditional and contemporary Northwest Coast cultures from their own experiences, research and guest speakers. 

This year, participants will be trained to lead tours of the new Lawrence Paul Yuxweluptun exhibit, Unceded Territories, and will create a podcast oriented around their reflections of this experience. Additionally, participants will aid in the design of a mural for the BC Children's hospital, and will participate in a number of workshops hosted by different Indigenous artists.

Successful applicants must be 15 to 18 years old, enrolled in high school, and must have an interest in First Nations culture. 

APPLICATION DEADLINE: Tuesday June 14th, 2016

All the best, 

Quill Christie 

Native Youth Program Assistant
