My name is Jaida Ponce (she/they), I am a Kichi Siibi Niizi Mnidoo Anishinaabe youth from Ardoch Algonquin First Nation. I’ve been teaching and growing in Indigenous Knowledges all my life.
I work in communities and institutions as a facilitator. I’ve worked at TRACKS Youth Program in various roles for 4 years consecutively and this will be my 4th summer as the Oshkwazin Trailblazer Supervisor. I’m excited to continue the important work at TRACKS, which facilitates and inspires STEM, leadership, and bimaadiziwin in our future youth leaders.
