Ndinawemaaganag Endaawaad Inc. (Ndinawe) is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to helping at-risk youth in Winnipeg. Since 1993, our integrated services have been connecting vulnerable children and youth aged 11-24 with the shelter, culture, recreation, education, outreach and support they need for safe and healthy lives. Open every day of the year, Ndinawe is an immediate and reliable place of safety, connection, and support for youth during times of high risk when other resources are unavailable to them. Our programs target harm reduction, crisis intervention, education, and stabilization for young people at risk of, or experiencing, homelessness, sexual exploitation, family conflict, placement breakdown, and mental health crises. We also work to build a sense of connection and belonging for youth at risk, to strengthen the youth voice within our community and reduce the social isolation they experience. Our strong history of providing innovative and culturally informed programs to under-served communities is part of a positive path towards a better future for our city’s Indigenous and at-risk youth.

**Our Values**:
Ndinawe’s values are based on the Seven Sacred Laws and are the heart of who we are and how we honor our responsibility to be Good Relatives.

**Respect** is a basic law of life. Respect means to feel and show honour for someone and to care for their well-being. Respect one’s self and respect will be bestowed.

**Love** and children are the vehicles we have been given to experience and comprehend the Creator.

**Honesty** is from within and is not to be confused with truth or law. In our traditional way, there are no ‘ifs or buts’ about honesty if one is to survive in a good way.

**Courage** is the capacity to stick to a challenge even though it is very hard and even painful. We must seek understanding and resolution through spiritual intervention as healing.

**Humility** is the ability to understand that, as an employee/volunteer of Ndinawe, we have an individual role to ensure the survival of the family. Humility is the quality which allows us to understand and accept our roles as well.

**Wisdom** is gained through experience and insight and is not to be confused with knowledge. Wisdom brings with it the need to be responsible and accountable.

**Truth** is the ability to adapt and change without compromising.
