The Culturally Relevant Urban Wellness (CRUW) Program was developed in 2011 by a community partnership interested in promoting the use of green space as a source of wellness and concrete skill development for youth. The program targets Indigenous youth in foster care and other diverse youth from the community and is grounded in the Indigenous perspective that we derive wellness and community from relationship and interaction with land and territory. CRUW is based at Vancouver Aboriginal Child and Family Services Society (VACFSS) and operates in partnership with The Indigenous Research Partnerships and xcicsm Garden, the Centre for Sustainable Food Systems at the UBC Farm, and the Ministry of Child and Family Development (MCFD). CRUW has three distinct programming streams, including: 1) the core UBC Farm program; 2) the Life Skills & Leadership program; and 3) the Youth Mentor Committee.

Core Objectives:

  • Honouring Our Diversity
  • Holistic and Sustainable Urban Wellness
  • Emotional and Cultural Competence
  • Youth Leadership

The UBC Farm CRUW program brings Indigenous youth in the care of VACFSS together with other diverse youth from MCFD to the UBC Farm. Youth participants spend 15 Saturdays working with Indigenous Elders and knowledge keepers, program staff, and other community members engaging in a variety of activities and workshops in both garden and indoor settings. Participants are split into 3 groups of 10 youth, each led and supervised by a Group Leader – who is supported by a youth worker, a youth mentor, and a volunteer. All service contractors are required to attend a paid staff and volunteer orientation prior to the program. Interested applicants are recommended to watch a video for more information and context on the program: Program Video

As a Group Leader, you will bring with you:

  • Strong capacities in youth work (both in groups and one-to-one work)
  • Strong facilitation abilities
  • Direct experience working with Indigenous youth/communities
  • Direct experience with leading outdoor and experiential programming
