Success Story YES Employment Services, Thunder Bay

“Understanding your community needs present and future is a critical piece to successful capacity building for organizations and community.  In Thunder Bay we know that while our general youth population is declining we can project that the number of aboriginal youth coming into Thunder Bay from surrounding reserves continues to increase and will continue to shape the way we deliver service in the north.  To this end, we provided a project with aboriginal communities hiring aboriginal youth to design a website of aboriginal services and launch it to the community (www.aerc-thunderbay.org).”
