NYA:WEH - Native Youth Advancement With Education Hamilton
|
The Native Youth Advancement With Education Hamilton (N.Y.A.W.E.H) endeavours to provide a culture-based support system that will enable Aboriginal students to flourish within Hamilton's Secondary School Environment.
N.Y.A.W.E.H cultivates the relationship between the culture of Aboriginal people and mainstream education. Both forms are integral to the progress of Aboriginal youth and are viewed as necessary assets in builing healthy individuals, communities and nations.
