Indigenous Youth Services Evaluation
|
This evaluation was created by Indigenous youth to hold organizations and institutions that serve Indigenous youth accountable and turn competency training into action.
This evaluation comes from years of calls to action and recommendations by Indigenous youth and their allies, such as the Roadmap on TRC Call to Action 66 (IYV), the Learning Community on Reconciliation Report (Children’s Welfare League of Canada), and the Mapping Indigenous Youth Services Report (Assembly of Seven Generations). Many of these reports were led and driven by Indigenous youth themselves, demonstrating the real commitments to implement Indigenous people carry. The numerous The Purpose The Indigenous Youth Services Evaluation will be used as an accountability mechanism to guide Indigenous youth to provide feedback on youth-serving organizations. Youth-serving organizations’ feedback will be on areas to improve in having relationships with Indigenous communities, and how to address gaps in services. The Evaluation will be used to gage how well an organization, company or service provider meets the needs of Indigenous youth ethically and authentically.
