Future Roots is a Program where Indigenous communities in urban areas become the engine of change to create a common vision between Indigenous and non-Indigenous youth.
A common vision that places cultural traditions as central to change the way we relate to each other, the way of understanding nature, of doing business and innovation.

And above all, the way of how to envision a better future for both communities at the same time.

Sharing, listening and caring about who we are, where we come from and where we want to go, is the best way to create lasting and meaningful relationships that allow beneficial changes for all.

Youth is the future of change
What if we could all benefit from young people’s drive to create positive change?
Future Roots is a youth-led community innovation program that takes heed of young people’s generational social values —such as the celebration of peoples differences, a sense of stewardship of the planet ecosystems and caring of ourselves. Thus creating a space to share both concerns and desires and most importantly, to find solutions. It is a place to team up and envision a common future, together.
Young people are ready now more than ever, to get involved and solve problems in their communities, we can enable them to become future leaders, to create meaningful work and well-being for all.

What if we support and help each other in ways we never imagined?

Encourage and build innovation skills into the social fabric
Empower youth competitiveness and leadership
Help foster creativity and innovation from urban indigenous communities to the broader community.
Showcase the potential of ideas, talent and innovation of Indigenous communities.
Development of economic opportunities
It’s all About Community
The direct outcome of the program is the development of a cross-cultural youth team that will create an innovation project.
This project will be able to foster economic development opportunities, focused on bettering the urban environment, raising awareness on the stewardship of the land, and serving the broader community.
How do we do it?

Working hand in hand with the communities we meet, asking how we can help and become an ally to generate positive changes.
