March 2025 Youth Newsletter – Les Femmes Michif Otipemisiwak

March 12, 2025

LFMO is excited to announce its inaugural youth council. The establishment of the initial Youth Council is a significant step towards ensuring a Métis youth lens is applied throughout the entirety of the project. By bringing together a small number of diverse youth from across the Motherland, the council ensures a rich representation of perspectives that address the unique challenges faced by Métis grassroots women, girls, and 2SLGBTQQIA+ people. This inclusive model empowers members to actively contribute, guiding the development of a grassroots Youth Network. By advocating for Métis youth priorities, the Youth Council will foster a vibrant network of young leaders, paving the way for meaningful change and a stronger future for Métis youth.

President’s Statement

It is with immense pride and excitement that we introduce Les Femmes Michif Otipemisiwak’s inaugural Youth Council—a powerful new platform dedicated to uplifting and amplifying the voices of Métis youth.

As a steadfast advocate for all Métis women, girls, and gender-diverse people, LFMO recognizes that our youth are not just the leaders of tomorrow, they are the changemakers of today. Across the Motherland, Métis youth are boldly driving progress in critical areas such as environmental stewardship, human rights, justice, science, and beyond. Their passion, resilience, and innovation are shaping a brighter, more inclusive future for all Métis people.
