Were you following along as we worked with the Ulnooweg Indigenous Communities Foundation last year, listening to the voices of Indigenous youth in Atlantic Canada? Learn more about how we gathered the voices and help lift them up here.

Are you interested in creating space for young people in your community, organization or region to be heard? Get in touch and we can build a We’re Listening Project for you in 2025.

Youth voice matters as it provides an invaluable perspective on the issues that matter most to young people.

Youth are the present and the future, and their voices are critical to creating a better path forward for all. By listening to the perspectives of young people, we can better understand the challenges they face and co-create solutions tailored to their needs.

Furthermore, empowering young people to make their voices heard is essential for their development and empowerment. It provides them with an opportunity to express their opinions and be heard, and to feel valued and respected. It is also an important part of building their confidence, resilience, and self-esteem.

Finally, listening to the perspectives of young people is vital for creating meaningful and lasting change. It ensures that their needs and experiences are considered when making decisions and policies, and it encourages more diverse perspectives and more equitable outcomes.

Youth voices are essential for creating a stronger, healthier and better future for us all.

The world can be a challenging place to live. Let’s be honest. It isn’t that it can be, it is.

So what’s happening at Three Things is this ongoing reminder to those in our Circle along with our visitors and friends:

Don’t just take time, but make time to stop, breath, slow down, connect to others, the land around you, the water, or something bigger…we are continually reminded of the hurt in the world – and that’s a lot.

It’s OK to make time without the TV or devices.

It’s OK to not fully understand what or why things happen.

It’s OK to not be OK with the state of the world.

It’s OK to take care of you in the best way you can.

Make time for it. Make time for you. You are worth it.

You Matter. You Are Important. You Belong.

We continue to keep All Our Relations in our thoughts and offerings, and will continue to do so. If not for you, for ourselves. It reminds us that the path to peace is anchored in our understand that peace is within us to share.

Come Walk With Us…Join In On Conversations That Matter

Come Walk With Us… WOW! We’ve started our fifth year of creating space where we hang out with folks with awesome stories to share, laugh lots, talk about taking care of ourselves, and each other and remind our friends that #youmatter, #youareimportant and #youbelong! A huge thank you to all, the new and old, who joined us on the show, and the thousands of folks who have tuned in and spent a Saturday night coming to walk with us…

3 Things Consulting

There are many choices available for organizations, communities and governments when engaging with outside vendors to support their activities, develop and deliver community-based programming, offer services including program evaluations, process facilitation and communications and provide strategic advice. Most provide quality work and it can be a challenge to determine the best fit for your needs. Based on the number of clients who have engaged with us repeatedly, we believe we can be the fit you are looking for. We have found when we share values with our clients, we are able to develop lasting relationships that provide meaningful and measurable results from our work. We root our work in traditional knowledge and processes, research and science and years of experience. We are Three Things Consulting. We are an Indigenous owned and incorporated company, originally a collaboration between three innovators with a combined experience of more than seventy years in facilitation, evaluation, program design, youth and adult gathering development and management, community and youth engagement, project and research development and implementation, training and capacity building, assessment, strategic planning, partnership/program development and knowledge sharing. Our roots and process are tied to a core lesson learned from our work: people matter, are important and belong. Our focus is on engagement, development, motivation and healing. We share #the3Things with young people, their families, communities and allies reminding them that they matter, are important and that they belong.

It's not a secret that life can be challenging. Loss, hurts, and grief, as an individual, or in the world around us can be a lot to manage. Just a friendly reminder, to start your week: You Matter. You Are Important. You Belong. #the3Things
