Nunavut government creates how-to kit on youth groups

Nunavut communities will have a guide on how to keep youth committees up and running by early 2005, according to the territorial department of culture, language, elders and youth.

Staff are assembling a youth committee tool kit as part of the government’s suicide prevention strategy.

Penny Rumbolt, spokesperson for CLEY, says the tool kit will help keep youth groups together by outlining how to apply for grants and manage funds.

The department’s community programs division in Igloolik handles the project, which will be accessible through the CLEY web site, www.gov.nu.ca/cley.
