Youth Programs

The Manitoba Métis Federation's Youth Department is committed to providing Red River Métis Youth with meaningful opportunities for cultural connection, personal growth, and skill development. We offer a variety of programs, including cultural workshops that celebrate Red River Métis traditions, summer programs that encourage arts and outdoor activity, and life skills workshops that equip our Youth with essential tools for success.

Community Partnerships

Each year, the Youth Department collaborates with various community organizations to offer exciting experiences for Red River Métis Youth. Previous partnerships include special events with the Winnipeg Goldeyes, youth basketball clinics with the Winnipeg Sea Bears, and partnerships with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. These partnerships provide MMF Youth with unique opportunities to participate in sports and recreation and enjoy memorable outings that promote community engagement and Red River Métis pride.

Annual Elders and Youth Gathering

A cornerstone of the Youth Department's programming is the annual Elders and Youth Gathering event, where generations come together to share knowledge, stories, and traditions. This gathering provides a welcoming space for our Youth to learn from Elders, strengthen their connection to Red River Métis culture, and engage in meaningful discussions. By fostering intergenerational learning, we ensure that the rich history and traditions of the Red River Métis continue to thrive for future generations.
