YOUTH WORKERS SEMINAR

Capacity Building for Aboriginal Youth Workers

"Youth who succeed will take on more challenging and leadership roles in their adulthood"

Youth Empowerment workshops and programs are very important for our communities, even more so today, with the vast amount of information pushed upon our Youth. Youth are living in a world with so much technology, new age philosophies and fast track life styles. We see them having a tough time fitting their Aboriginal traditions and community values into their everyday life.

Most Aboriginal Communities are faced with the same struggles when it comes to youth. We must find improved solutions to prepare and equip them to make good choices; they need to become good leaders through successful programming and positive mentoring, as well as regular opportunities to practice their Aboriginal Traditions and learning important community values.

The objective of this seminar is to share the ideas with Coordinators, Parents and Care Givers to reveal best practices to guide our Youth on to positive paths.

Workshop Theme and Topics:

• Passing on Traditional Knowledge in a Modern World
• Rights of Passage and/or Coming of Age Awareness & Tips
• Learning about Social Media - Facebook, Twitter, Skype, etc
• A Visual look at the History & life passages of Native Peoples
• Healing from Generational Trauma & Pain

LEAD FACILITATOR

TONY ALEXIS

"Native Entrepreneur, Keynote Speaker & Elder's Helper"

"Elders say each person has a special gift and there is no other with this gift in this World , the Creator made especially for you to share with the People."

Each time I present this workshop, discussions arise where Elders and Community Members conclude by saying "we need to get this workshop to more people!" I am always honored to help and bring this workshop to the Communities and to share with Native Organizations.

Creating this workshop is important to me; I am interested in supporting the Growth of our Nations.  I developed the program to share information with people who desire to learn more about "Balance and Peace" in their lives.

You have heard of Anthony Robbins' personal development program "Get the Edge", Rhonda Byrne's book the "Secret", and others who inspire you change to a healthier lifestyle.

They empower you personally, with tools of staying focus and committing to an improved and richer life. I learned over the years, that our Native Stories & Values share the same philosophies. And if you follow the program of our Elders and their teachings, you will have the same results. "Celebrations" will assist you in discovering how Ancient - Native Philosophiesand mainstream philosophies are very similar.

I am grateful to discuss and reveal the similarities of the personal development programs with you; I am confident, after seeing the similarities, you will see your Elders as the "Greatest Knowledge Keepers" and the "Best Spiritual Guides"suited for you and your families.

The Title: "Celebrations"

Through a dream our facilitator, Tony Alexis, envisioned the path of a human life. He seen many passages we go through as a person, and there was a celebration shown at each life stage. After years of studying this concept, and visiting with his Elders, other spiritual teachers, plus psychology teachers and university focus groups, he realized the sheer joy of celebrations we need in our lives, and how it creates a positive energy...it is the way pulling more positive people and events into our lives.
