North Sound Indigenous Futurity Alliance

The Indigenous Futurity Alliance is designed to support young leaders in the North Sound region, specifically holding space for young voices of communities that have historically been silenced, marginalized, and oppressed.

The planning team of the North Sound Indigenous Futurity Alliance are voices of Indigenous youth and young leaders in the North Sound region. Their work is supported by staff from North Sound ACH, Children of the Setting Sun Productions, Communities of Color Coalition, and Community Initiatives. 

The Alliance hosts gatherings for and by youth and young leaders in the North Sound region that focus on mental health, behavioral health, wellness, well-being, belonging, and resiliency. Read more about them here.
