What this program funds

The Northern Policy School is an incubator program run by Indigenous Youth Roots within the Centre for Indigenous Policy and Research. The program brings together Indigenous youth from Northern Canada to develop skills in policy, leadership, and governance. It is rooted in Northern realities and community priorities, creating space for youth to connect, learn, and explore how policy can support self-determination and transformative change.

The program is open to Indigenous youth in and around Inuvik, Northwest Territories, and Northern regions. It operates on a rolling intake basis, with applications accepted on an ongoing basis. The pilot program is expected to launch in June 2026, with applications opening soon.
