About this listen

In this special episode of the Courageous Conversation Series, host Gabrielle Fayant from A7G is joined by Jennifer Altenberg, a passionate educator and youth worker who shares her journey working with Indigenous youth across the prairies. From creating safe, empowering spaces outside the classroom to now transforming what education look like within it, we reflect on the deep importance of holding space, speaking the truth, breaking harmful stereotypes and exploring difficult topics. We talk about the realities Indigenous youth face, including systemic barriers and the ongoing struggle to access necessities, and how they continue to face these challenges with strength and resilience.

This conversation is a powerful reminder that real change beings by listening, making room for and walking alongside young people as they find their path.
