Frequent Questions

Do I need to be Indigenous to work with you?

No. Our doors are open to everyone. We're Indigenous-led, with a special focus on Indigenous and Two-Spirit youth and adults who are struggling, but everyone is welcome.

How much does it cost?

Career and agency navigation runs on a sliding scale: $100, $65 or $35 an hour. Choose the rate that fits your situation, no questions asked. Your first 15-minute call is free.

Can my band help pay for training?

Often, yes. Students can apply for funding through their own band, ISETS or Rupertsland Institute. We can help you through the process.

Is what I share kept private?

Yes. What is shared between us stays between us, unless someone's safety is at risk.

Can we meet online?

Yes. We offer Zoom sessions, and we recommend them if you live outside Edmonton, Wetaskiwin or Maskwacis.
