Sponsor a Youth
What your gift actually does
Every dollar you give goes toward keeping the Youth-to-Youth Experience free – completely free – for every young
person who takes part. No family should have to weigh whether reconciliation is affordable this year.. Your support helps us:
Bring Indigenous and non-Indigenous youth together on Indigenous territory, guided by Elders and Knowledge Keepers
Cover travel, food, and program costs so cost is never the reason a young person misses this
Grow a network that now includes 250+ alumni and partnerships with 175+ Rotary clubs across the country
Keep the fire going for the next twelve years, and the twelve after that. For every dollar donated,
HIP generates $10.75 in social return. This is a program that works, and works efficiently.

PATHFINDER — $1,000
This is close to what it takes to bring one youth fully through the Y2Y Experience – travel, meals, program
time on the land, all of it. You’re helping build the path they walk.
PEACEMAKER — $5,000
You’re sponsoring one youth’s complete Y2Y Experience – helping the program keep saying yes to the next 49
who apply. It’s the kind of gift that lets us plan a season with confidence.

🔥 90 Days. $120,000. One Gathering
HIP needs to raise $120,000 in the next 90 days to confirm the 2027 Youth-to-Youth gathering –
Indigenous and non-Indigenous youth learning side by side from Elders and Knowledge Keepers,
free for every young person who takes part.
The math is simple: 1,000 Canadians giving $120 gets us there.

$40/month for 3 months
