Arnold Blackstar and former interns from UFV Global Development Studies and Canada World Youth share their stories through the experiential learning opportunities they had working with indigenous peoples and communities from around the world.
Arnold Blackstar, Director, Aboriginal Programs, is a graduate of the University of Saskatchewan (B. Ed. and LL.B.) and brings 20 years of experience in the area of Aboriginal community development. He has worked in Aboriginal policing, education, labour force development and community partnerships.
Arnold is fluent in English, Cree and Spanish, and originates from the Moosomin First Nation in Saskatchewan. Arnold is an alumnus from the Colombia-Manitoba exchange in 1986-1987. Arnold’s area of interest is in Aboriginal inclusion approaches to address the unique needs of Aboriginal youth, communities and partners. Aboriginal youth are the fastest growing segment of the Canadian population and investment in youth leadership and skills development is critical to participation in labour markets, entrepreneurship and the economy. CWY’s experiential learning approach is an effective model in youth leadership development and achievement in community driven projects. Learn more
