LEVEL youth grant (Test)

$20,000

Grant by Vancouver Foundation

British Columbia

Description:

Vancouver Foundation has learned that our fastest growing youth populations Indigenous, immigrant, and refugee youth face disproportionate barriers to influencing change within our social, civic and public systems. They have far fewer opportunities to access the kind of support that would allow them to advocate for public policy change, participate in civic engagement activities, and/or become leaders in the non-profit sector. The LEVEL Initiative will build on these learnings and address the racial inequity experienced by Indigenous, immigrant, and refugee youth and young adults by investing in their leadership capacity and supporting their future work on issues that affect them.

Requirements:

Indigenous, immigrant, and refugee youth and young adults (30 or under).

Deadline for application:

October 31

Granting term:

6 months
