WHAT WE DO

Successfully Transition Youth into the Labour Market.

Established in 1992, NPAAMB Indigenous Youth Employment & Training is a not-for-profit organization with a primary mandate to provide employment and training solutions.

ABOUT US

We Are Passionate

We seek to enhance the quality of life for our clients through demand-driven and culturally appropriate employment and training supports. It is our goal to build opportunities reflecting community needs responsive to labour market trends, while promoting paths of leadership for our clients.

Our Mission

To provide skills development and training opportunities for urban Indigenous youth in Southern Ontario. NPAAMB attracts, develops, and motivates young Indigenous talent by respecting their diverse cultural identities and working closely within the communities we serve.

Our Vision

The urban Indigenous youth we serve will have increased confidence, self-esteem, and leadership abilities. They will develop skills and a strong attachment to the workforce that will make them more employable and provide them with greater stability. NPAAMB will be a leader in supporting our youth as they transform into leaders contributing to their communities.

Our Values

We are guided by accountability, honesty, integrity, and respect—upholding high standards, acting with openness, and treating everyone with dignity and compassion. With humility and a strong commitment to collaboration, we work together as responsible stewards of our organization and environment, continuously striving to create lasting impact for future generations.

Cover for NPAAMB Indigenous Youth Employment And Training
Oftentimes we seek answers we need from others around us, hoping someone will provide us with our answers. Blackberry Moon reminds us that the answers we’re looking for can be found within ourselves, in our clan, or in the animals that guide us. Our dreams, spirit, heart, and even the lands around us can help us to find what we’re looking for- The hard work is looking inward. Exploring our feelings, wants and needs helps us to identify the paths we want to take; And the path is never laid out perfectly in front of our eyes. We have the power to choose each step that we take, before we take it. Every step and experience will come with lessons; we simply need to recognize what is being shown to us and what we’re feeling.This Blackberry Moon, ask yourself what you need before you can take your next step toward the future you want for yourself. Are there people in your life that can support you with your goals? NPAAMB Youth Success Workers are here for exactly that reason- to help you with your career and life goals. We can connect you with resources, services, tools, and other like-minded people.Reach out to NPAAMB today to learn how we can support your next step, and even the next step after that. ...
