The Tk̓emlúps te Secwépemc Education Department is pleased to announce the hiring of Kacey Seymour as our new Youth Coordinator.
Kacey is a proud Secwépemc woman and TteS member whose personal, academic, and professional journey reflects deep commitment to community, cultural connection, and youth empowerment. She brings a wealth of experience working with young people in a variety of roles, including her recent leadership as the Tkek Yeel Stem Camp Coordinator, where she successfully planned and delivered land-based, culturally relevant programming for Secwépemc youth aged 7 to 14.
With strong roots in our community and a sincere passion for uplifting youth through education, wellness, and cultural revitalization, Kacey embodies the vision we hold for this role. Her collaborative spirit, intuitive leadership, and creative approach to youth engagement position her as a powerful role model for our young people. Through her involvement with national initiatives like Indspire’s Indigenous Student Wellness Advisory Group, she continues to advocate for the voices and experiences of Indigenous youth on broader platforms.
In addition to her hands-on programming experience, Kacey is known for her warmth, dependability, and energetic presence. As Youth Coordinator, Kacey will lead the planning and implementation of education, training, and employment readiness programs for TteS youth. She is excited to help create more opportunities for connection between youth and Elders, foster spaces that honour Secwépemc ways of knowing and being, and support our young people as they pursue their goals.
Please join us in welcoming Kacey Seymour to our Education team. We look forward to the contributions she will make as she supports and uplifts the next generation of Secwépemc leaders.
