The Youth-Led Projects stream provides one-time financial assistance to youth-led, youth-driven projects or activities that address a specific violent incident/crisis in a community (local neighbourhood or community of common bond) and contribute to community capacity building and/or community healing and wellbeing. The primary focus population of the proposed project or activity is for MVP (Most Vulnerable People) Youth.
The fund and the application have been updated to enhance access to financial resources for youth groups to lead and deliver projects that promote community healing and capacity building. Projects must meet all eligibility criteria to be considered for funding.
Projects are required to follow public health guidelines and trustee procedures/policies with regards to physical distancing.
Funding will support projects for up to a six-month period or as amended with direction from the Medical Officer of Health.
