Street Workers for First Nations, Inuit and Métis Community Members
Indigenous-serving program
365 days a year, street workers meet people exactly where they are at: on the streets, in alleys, in parks, in the metro, in apartments and in other organizations. To reach target populations and meet their needs, they base their interventions on three guiding principles: consistent presence, creating meaningful relationships and empowering individuals. Street workers are there to listen, offer support, discuss, refer and accompany people on a voluntary and confidential basis.
