Hello from the NAN Decade for Youth Liasion Officer
 Jacki Alto Decade for Youth Liaison Officer |
My name is Jacqueline Alto I was born in Dryden, Ont. I am a member of Naotkamegwanning First Nation, Treaty 3. I have lived all over Canada from Ottawa to Dawson Creek.
I have a Bachelor of Arts degree from Lakehead University and a Human Resources Post Diploma Certificate from Confederation College.
Recently I worked for Victim Crisis Assistance and Referral Service located at the Thunder Bay Police Station. I am currently in the Leadership Thunder Bay Program 2008- 2009 and I am very much interested in giving back to my community.
I am motivated by varied interests and experiences. I’m pretty open and love to try different foods and customs. I love reading, dancing and traveling.
I am married and my husband and I are waiting on Citizenship & Immigration Canada to process us and allow him to come to Canada. I find it funny that when one First Nation person wants to invite one immigrant to come to Canada Immigration denied our case on the first round! We are still hopeful! He is in Khemisset, Morocco which is in western Africa (think Casablanca).
I am the mother of two beautiful eleven year old boy/girl twins who are and continue to be both inspiring and thoughtful people. They can be challenging as well, they are after all my children.
I am looking forward to being on the team as the Decade for Youth Liaison Officer and meeting everyone at Nishnawbe Aski Nation!
Connecting resources
My new role as the Decade for Youth Liaison Officer is to get our Girl Power and Wolf Spirit Warrior programs up and running.
These two youth empowerment programs are in ten communities so far and we are hoping to expand into other NAN communities.
We just had our Girl Power and Wolf Spirit Warrior train the trainer session from March 16, 2009 to March 21, 2009 in Thunder Bay at the Nor’Wester. It was a positive experience and everyone learned something new.
I will be the liaison between these community Girl Power and Wolf Spirit Warrior workers assisting with resources, support and further training. I am looking forward to going to these communities and meeting the youth who will be participating!
