VIYAC is a great way of meeting other Indigenous youth, having a say and at the same time, gaining skills. VIYAC will allow you to speak up about any issues that are of importance to you. VIYAC can also be a vehicle that can help you access both government and non-government organizations, along with others in the community, to have your say. It's a great opportunity to come together with your friends and cousins to have fun and get vocal.
