Join us for transformational learning experiences in some of Canada’s most unique communities.
Howl offers unique learning experiences across Canada for youth who don’t know what comes next in life. Since launching our first program in March 2022, we’ve had over 600 Indigenous and non-Indigenous youth participate in our programs.
What are you going to do next?
We might have the answer.
Our programs are designed to inspire career pathways and build confident, community-based lives. We offer a variety of programs for youth ages 14-30, from 3 days to a full semester in the Rockies. Howl Experiences will provide new experiences in new places with new people. Are you ready?

Beyond Banff
Sustainable Tourism: Rockies Exploration
April 14-20
This spring, Howl is bringing together 20 youth leaders to play an active role in advancing conversations related to sustainable tourism in the Bow Valley. Youth will engage in deep listening and actively seek solutions around topics affected our communities such as, reconciliation, conservation, transportation, housing, careers and mental health.
Howl is committed to Reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples.
The people behind Howl recognized that the programs that we offer are only one part of acting on Reconciliation. The structure of our organization serves as a teaching tool itself and is continuously evolving to meet the needs of individuals and communities. Howl is committed to being an organization that Indigenous youth, Elders, community members and service providers feel good about working with.
Why choose a Howl Experience?
