INDIGENOUS LIFE SPORT ACADEMY
@ILSACREW
Empowering Indigenous Youth Through Sports
Join the @ILSAcrew
By providing Indigenous youth with non-team based life sports, the Indigenous Life Sport Academy (ILSA) creates social change and development within Indigenous communities. ILSA provides Indigenous youth with opportunities to play, express themselves, improve both their mental and physical health, as well as learn skills such as snowboarding, skateboarding, biking, climbing, hiking, and cross country skiing that can benefit them long into their adult years. These healthy sport-based outlets assist in the relief of conscious and subconscious stresses induced by inter-generational trauma within Indigenous communities. - ILSAcrew Mission Statement
