⏰ Reminder: The Youth Life Skills Survey Closes Soon! ⏰
Six Nations youth ages 13–19 still have time to share their thoughts and help shape the future of youth programming in our community.
To enter to win you MUST leave your phone number in one of the short answers of the survey!
The Child & Youth Health Department is developing a Youth Life Skills Program, and we want to hear directly from youth about:
✅ Skills they would like to learn
✅ Barriers they face
✅ Topics that are important to them
✅ How they learn best
Your feedback will directly influence the workshops, activities, and opportunities offered through this program.
📅 Survey Deadlines
• Online surveys, phone surveys, and surveys completed through community partners must be submitted by June 26, 2026
🎉Survey Winner will be contacted & announced on June 29th, 2026
This is a youth-informed initiative, meaning youth voices will remain at the center of the planning and development process. We understand that community members are often asked to provide feedback without seeing the outcomes. That’s why we are committed to sharing survey findings, program updates, and opportunities for continued involvement throughout the development of this program.
