Our First Nations Governance Group
Our First Nations Governance Group feeds into decision-making about the strategy, priorities, grants and work our FYA First Nations Team and YLAB’s First Nations Team delivers. This group ensures that our work is underpinned by an accountable and ethical way of doing business with young First Nations people and their communities.
