Give Indigenous Youth the chance to take control of the narrative.

Your donation helps us to fulfill the specific needs of our First Nations partners and build projects that create valuable experiences and educational opportunities that support Indigenous youth.

Support young Indigenous people on their journey, uplift them, and help them regain their voices.

All youth have the ability to achieve and succeed when given the opportunity and support. Our stories may differ, but our past is what connects us all.

#WESEEYOU trips

The Ballantyne Project has also designed ALL INCLUSIVE educational and life experience trips specifically for Indigenous youth from remote and northern First Nations in Canada.

Our 7 day #WESEEYOU TripS are now being offered in the Spring & fall

  • Are you a youth aged 15-18 living in a northern Indigenous community in Canada? The Ballantyne Project invites you to apply for the Spring 2025 #WeSeeYou Trip, a one-week journey to Vancouver, BC, with a focus on culinary arts.

    This fully funded experience will immerse you in the world of cooking and baking. You'll have the chance to work hands-on alongside a professional chef in a commercial kitchen, gaining valuable skills and insights. Additionally, you’ll meet inspiring small business owners who will share their stories, giving you a glimpse into what it’s like to pursue a culinary career or run your own bakery or restaurant.

    Seats are limited, and participation is free!
    Bring a chaperone and get ready for an unforgettable week.
