Join the
Red Dust Circle

Join the Red Dust Circle and continue John's legacy.

In 1996, Red Dust founder John Van Groningen led a group of athletes to engage youth and families in remote Indigenous communities. John's passion, drive and energy led to the establishment of Red Dust Role Models in 2006.

John passed away in 2012 after a battle with cancer. His legacy lives on in Red Dust today, and we have continued to work together to enrich lives, improve health and strengthen the future of Indigenous youth and families.

Today, we invite you to join us as we build on this legacy.

By joining the Red Dust Circle you'll be helping to create a sustainable project fund to enhance the delivery of our unique community-as-family model of health and well-being programs for youth and families in remote communities.
