YOUTH CORNER S u bm i t t e d b y Ky r h a Mo s e s -McWa t c h , Y o u t h C o u n c i l
Boozhoo! My name is Kyrha Moses-Mcwatch and I’ve been apart of Youth Council since 2019. Unfortunately, some of the major projects and events I have been involved in with the youth council have been postponed due to the pandemic. This isn’t how we planned for things to turn out, but we’re excited to start planning events for the youth in and out of the community! It’s important for youth to be involved with youth council so their voices can be heard, and it helps youth council plan events and projects for the youth to attend. Youth are the future of our community, and it doesn’t matter if you on or off reserve you can still have a voice. We’re actually looking for a youth who are in the elementary school to sit in on meeting and help the younger youth have a voice. Some skills I have personally gained since being on Youth Council are my social skills. Being apart of youth council and sitting in on our meetings has helped me learn how to use my voice and be social. Socializing with other youth on council has helped a lot, and everyone has their own opinions and ideas so hearing from everyone and making decisions together has also helped with communication skills. There are so many other skills you can learn from being on youth council, and I’m still learning! Youth council just had our first in person meeting since covid and we have started planning events! We’re still working on finalizing everything for our events coming up; within the next couple weeks we’ll have posters coming out to the community! We’re all excited to finally be back to having our meetings and planning events.
