THE BALLANTYNE PROJECT
The Artbound Foundation is honored to partner with The Ballantyne Project, a movement dedicated to breaking down barriers and building bridges for Indigenous youth to reclaim and empower their voices. Together, we are committed to fostering valuable educational experiences and life-changing opportunities, helping youth from remote and northern First Nations in Canada shape their futures. Through our support of #WESEEYOU trips, we help provide all-inclusive educational journeys that connect these young leaders to broader experiences and networks, equipping them with the tools to thrive and take control of their narratives. Your donation fuels these efforts, helping Indigenous youth find their voices and guiding them toward success and self-empowerment.
