What else should I know about Katimavik?
Founded in 1977 by Senator Jacques Hébert and Barney Danson, Katimavik — Inuktitut for "meeting place" — is a non-profit organization that has impacted the lives of over 40,000 young Canadians. Its mission is to connect youth with their country and communities through meaningful community service and experiential learning. The organization offers two flagship programs: the National Experience, a 22-week immersive journey focused on volunteerism and group living across Canada, and FuturePerfect, a 14-week employability program designed to help young adults distant from the labor market launch their careers. Katimavik is distinguished by its formal 50-year pledge to Truth and Reconciliation, placing Indigenous history and engagement at the core of its educational curriculum. By fostering bilingualism, mutual respect, and the development of 21st-century skills such as conflict resolution and project management, Katimavik continues to shape a generation of engaged, altruistic citizens ready to drive transformative change for a better Canada.
