    For Youth, By Youth - We are dedicated to building environments for youth to thrive as environmental stewards and emerging leaders. We prioritize youth-led decision-making and create opportunities for youth to apply their knowledge and lived experiences.

    Leading with Curiosity - We embrace open-mindedness and a spirit of continuous learning. We lead with curiosity, understanding that genuine harmony with our environment grows from our shared commitment to evolving and discovering together.

    Mutual Care - We believe in shared responsibility and caring for each other and all our relations—the land, water, sky, and their inhabitants. We support and nurture our community with compassion and respect.

    Community Engaged - We value the agency and voices of our members who co-steward our mission and vision. We invite our community to lead and learn with us, fostering a sense of shared ownership in shaping our impact together.

    Uplifting Indigenous Knowledge - We honour teachings and land stewardship protocols shared by Indigenous Elders and Knowledge Keepers. We strive to uplift this knowledge throughout all aspects of our work.
