Indigenous Heritage, Education & Dialogue
FORED’s Indigenous Heritage, Education & Dialogue (AHEAD) program delivers educational materials, events and complimentary, downloadable activities for educators, NGOs, community leaders and others. These programs help build awareness of cultural, economic and heritage values in natural resources decision-making and showcase valuable career opportunities to Indigenous youth. Indigenous mentors share their career journeys and help foster a stay in school ethic. The program has valuable voluntary partners such as the Indigenous Resource Network, Nicola Valley Institute of Technology and individual First Nations from bands across BC as well as the provincial and federal governments, business leaders, academics & associations.
