EmpoweredMe is a purpose-driven organization dedicated to inspiring and equipping youth, especially those from First Nations, Métis, Inuit, and BIPOC communities, with the tools to thrive in life, leadership, and learning. Through engaging workshops, mentorship, and hands-on programs, we create safe spaces where young people can build confidence, resilience, and a strong sense of self-worth.
