WE MATTER is a national Indigenous youth-led not-for-profit organization committed to Indigenous youth support, hope and life promotion. We provide a forum for people across the country to share messages of hope, culture and strength, and remind Indigenous youth that I Matter. You Matter. We Matter.
The Group's Purpose
Suicide rates for Indigenous youth are several times higher than that of other Canadians, as well as rates for things like addiction, abuse, and school drop outs. But we believe this doesn’t have to be the case.
Our mission is to communicate to Indigenous youth that they matter, and provide resources to encourage and support those going through a hard time while fostering unity and resiliency.
We Matter is committed to:
- Connecting Indigenous youth with positive messages of hope, culture, wellness, healing, mental health and life promotion
- Gathering and amplifying Indigenous and Indigenous youth voices and stories
- Creating space and opportunity for Canadians to celebrate and honour the voices and experiences of Indigenous youth
- Creating and distributing materials and resources designed to encourage and support Indigenous youth and those who work with Indigenous youth
- Building Indigenous youth capacity in schools and communities by implementing Indigenous youth-led projects and enabling peer-to-peer support
How to Help
We need everyone to watch the WE MATTER videos, and to share them far and wide - wemattercampaign.org.
We also need donations - many Indigenous communities are remote and lacking in resources, and we want to be able to deliver our videos and resource materials into schools and communities across the country. The more funds we raise, the more we can outreach into hard hit communities and beyond.
About the Organizers
We Matter was started in 2016 by Dene/Metis brother and sister Kelvin and Tunchai Redvers. Overwhelmed by the number of suicides and other issues Indigenous youth face, they wanted to create a space that connects Indigenous youth across the country and provides support and love through culture and sharing.
