In partnership with the Ontario Federation of Indigenous Friendship Centres (OFIFC), the program will support Two-Spirit and Indigenous LGBTQ+ young people by increasing access to supports and activities through the Friendship Centre in support of overall well-being. This program is aimed at youth and families.

An Indigenous Mentor will provide one-on-one services with individuals and with groups, engaging Two-Spirit and Indigenous LGBTQ+ in a community-driven research process to self-define well-being and explore ways that Friendship Centres and surrounding communities can support a sense of belonging.
