On your next visit to MOA, take a tour with one of the members of this year’s Native Youth Program (NYP) at MOA. Visitors will have a unique opportunity to learn about the MOA collection from a new and Indigenous perspective and gain insight into belongings from interpreters with a personal connection to the objects.

In addition to the scheduled weekly tours, NYP interpreters will be stationed throughout the museum where they will introduce MOA’s temporary exhibitions To Be Seen, To Be Heard: First Nations in Public Spaces, 1900–1965 and in Pursuit of Venus [infected], as well as the new displays and objects in the Great Hall. Visitors are also encouraged to participate in the drop-in art-making in the Learning Lab.

Currently in its 44th year, the Native Youth Program is a summer program for urban Indigenous youth, ages 15 to 18 enrolled in secondary school. Each year, this summer job opportunity is a full training and work experience that offers up to eight Indigenous high school students a chance to explore their identity through art and culture and to learn about MOA, UBC, and its programs.
