April: A Month in Review
The girls enjoyed the (mostly) warmer weather this past month while they participated in a wide variety of activities, performances and ongoing projects.
Creating Something With Your Own Two Hands
April was the month of crafts and creating at Stardale. We had a variety of instructors teach some wonderful lessons on the beauty of being to make something out of nothing. This included a class on crochet, traditional beading techniques and painting.
A Stardale Shopping Spree
The girls spent some time picking out new summer clothes at Value Village to make sure they have everything they need to beat the summer heat.
Stardale Shares More Screening Dates
Stardale continued to offer our Free Educational Sessions Project connecting viewers all over Canada to all three films in the Stardale film trilogy.

Hard Work and Homework
A major pillar of Stardales programming includes supporting our girls all the way through high school graduation. One way we do this is by offering tutoring to the girls (at no cost to them) to assist them with subjects and work they are struggling with. We believe that when we provide positive, supportive environments for Indigenous young women and girls, we build resilience across generations and that includes the support necessary for academic success.
Mentorship Matters
As we move into the summer months Stardale is continuing to grow and develop our mentorship program. Our goal is always to be able to pair as many of our girls as possible with inspiring mentors to help them learn and grow. Our girls look to their mentors for support, guidance and above all as a role model.
