Survey for Tłı̨chǫ Educators

Northern Youth Abroad is partnering with the Tłı̨chǫ Government to develop a Model for Post-Secondary Education Engagement for Tłı̨chǫ Citizens. We are gathering information to inform our work and identify what supports currently exist and how we can help develop additional supports to address the needs of Tłı̨chǫ Citizens. Masì for filling out this survey and please feel free to share it with others who may want to give their input.
