We work with Indigenous nations across what is colonially called British Columbia to support Indigenous youth. Our physical office is based on the unceded, ancestral, and current territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh people.

Yúusnewas connects with Indigenous youth through group programming, including workshops (in-person and online), drop-in cultural programming, and an annual film making workshop! We also connect with youth on Facebook and Instagram. Our programming focuses on youth from 14 to 29 years old.
