Youth Engagement
Ball at the Mall
In July of 2025, youth leaders in our community saw a need for a space where young people could gather, play, and connect. In partnership with SDEEC, these youth leaders created Ball at the Mall, a free 3x3 basketball tournament!
This event is more than just a tournament—it’s a space for joy, culture, and community designed with our young people’s voices at the center. It’s part of our collective commitment to creating spaces where Indigenous youth feel seen, supported, and celebrated.
In addition to the 3x3 youth basketball tournament, we had:
Bounce houses
Games & door prizes
Health screenings
Community fun and connection!
