Matriarchs Advisory Circle

Matriarchs Advisory Circle

The Matriarchs Advisory Circle (MAC) is an exciting new structure to honor the wisdom and guidance of Indigenous local matriarchs in shaping Hope and Health’s vision and strategy. This includes both programming focus and systemic change efforts, particularly anchored to the TRC Calls to Action (specifically 87-91) and the UNDRIP Article 31. The MAC will provide a supportive and fun space to foster collaboration, amplify the voices of women, inclusive of 2SLGBTQIA+ people in shaping Hope and Health’s soccer programs to maximize our collective impact for Indigenous children, youth, and communities.
