Quinn Dunphy
I am a Métis youth leader dedicated to building stronger connections between young people and their communities. I founded Manitoba Youth to create opportunities for Indigenous and underrepresented youth to engage with their heritage, culture, and local support networks. Through this work, I focus on creating inclusive spaces, promoting cultural pride, and encouraging youth leadership. My goal is to help young people feel seen, supported, and empowered to take an active role in shaping their futures and their communities.
Manitoba Youth
Manitoba Youth is a community-driven initiative that connects Indigenous and underrepresented youth to their culture, heritage, and local support networks. The project creates inclusive spaces where young people can learn, share, and grow through cultural activities, mentorship, and community engagement. Its goal is to strengthen identity, build confidence, and empower youth to become leaders within their communities.
