Damien Rodriquez

Ontario


Damien Rodriquez, a proud Moose Cree First Nation member and intergenerational survivor, is pursuing a Bachelor of Arts at Dalhousie University with support from the FG Foundation bursary. A single father and passionate advocate for social justice, Damien is working toward a career in social work to serve Indigenous communities.

Growing up in Nova Scotia, he witnessed systemic injustices that fueled his commitment to creating change. At Dalhousie, he participates in leadership programs and workshops that build his skills in advocacy, community engagement, and cultural resilience. He also volunteers with the Native Council and Tribal Boxing, mentoring Indigenous youth.

Balancing parenthood, part-time work, and full-time studies, Damien faces financial barriers, but with FG Foundation’s support, he is able to focus on his education and future contributions to his community.
