Aboriginal Youth Ambassador Program

The front line personnel of the Squamish Lil’wat Cultural Centre are part of an ongoing training initiative known as the Aboriginal Youth Ambassador Program.

The Aboriginal Youth Ambassador (AYA) Program provides BC Aboriginal youth with the training and opportunity to discover, build, and share their unique story at high profile tourism venues in a way that bridges the Native and non-Native worlds, delights visitors, and fosters the Aboriginal leaders of tomorrow.

This highly successful youth tourism training and leadership building program is customized for Aboriginal learners and communities. The program provides participants with the tourism and training essentials to help them gain their foothold in BC’s growing tourism industry. They receive a combination of in-class tourism education and on-the-job work experience placements in Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal tourism businesses. Participants complete the program with practical industry experience and recognized certification, including SuperHost, FirstHost, and Tourism BC’s Tourism Visitor Information Centre Training.

In addition to providing important industry certifications, the graduates of this program have researched their own unique cultural background, learned about the tourism industry, participated in cultural activities such as cedar weaving, drum making, and paddle carving, and have become accomplished public speakers who share their stories.

The Squamish Lil'wat Cultural Centre has proudly hired the star graduates of the Aboriginal Youth Ambassador Program, each of whom exemplifies leadership and service - and who can proudly tell their stories to an interested audience.
