SILVER GUMMY FOUNDATION:
Intersectional Feminism, Social Ecological model as prevention
Featured Project: Building Positive Gender Identities for Indigenous Youth
As part of our commitment to reconciliation, the Silver Gummy Foundation is building relationships with Indigenous organizations whose mandate is to create positive gender identities for Indigenous youth through the reclamation of culture, epistemology and youth-driven participatory approaches to change. We recognize that change is only possible when research institutions, community programming, schools and youth have reciprocal relationships of teaching and learning.
