Nominate Your Role Model!



The National Aboriginal Role Model Program is seeking nominations of young Aboriginal role models for its 2008–09 program.



The National Aboriginal Role Model Program celebrates the accomplishments of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis youth aged 13 to 30. “Lead Your Way!” inspires Aboriginal youth to strive to reach their goals. Each year 12 Aboriginal role models are selected for their achievements, leadership and innovation. Throughout the year, the role models will visit First Nations, Inuit, and Métis communities to share their stories with other Aboriginal youth. Lead Your Way!, housed with the National Aboriginal Health Organization, is funded by Health Canada.



Who?



Aboriginal youth (between the ages of 13 and 30 years old) can nominate their role model by filling out the nomination form. The nomination form has various attributes that fit your role model. Role models may be First Nations, Inuit or Métis youth between the ages of 13 and 30 years old.



When?



Nomination deadline is 11:59 PM EST on Friday, March 28, 2008.



How?



You can nominate an Aboriginal youth for Lead Your Way! by submitting:

* A nomination form,
* A short biography of your role model (1-2 pages) or their resume; and,
* At least one letter of support from your references (maximum of three).
