Summary
Across select regions, a unique funding opportunity is available to support youth-led projects aimed at community betterment. This program offers two tiers of funding, one smaller and one more expansive, to help bring emerging ideas to life or expand existing efforts that reflect local needs. Whether working in urban areas, rural communities, or remote settings, young changemakers can access modest financial support to launch meaningful initiatives that foster belonging, wellness, and connection.
Funding amounts generally range from a few thousand dollars for new projects to higher amounts for groups seeking to grow their impact. Support is available to informal youth-led collectives as well as small, youth-centered organizations that operate with a clear purpose and a commitment to local engagement. Individuals working in teams, as well as youth-led groups operating under limited budgets, are encouraged to apply. Opportunities are available exclusively in specific geographic areas and are not extended to businesses or out-of-region entities.
The goal is to support young people in taking initiative—developing and leading projects that may include cultural programming, health education, community events, knowledge-sharing, capacity-building, or intergenerational connections. Funds may be used in a variety of ways, including purchasing supplies, hiring guidance or facilitation, and implementing activities that align with local traditions and values.
In addition to financial resources, selected applicants may receive support such as mentorship, guidance, and access to peer networks. Many past participants have noted that this opportunity helped strengthen both their leadership skills and their ability to make lasting contributions to their communities.
This funding stream reflects an investment in youth-led vision, encouraging long-term impact by supporting those already rooted in the communities they serve. The opportunity is designed to affirm, uplift, and empower the next generation of leaders as they bring their ideas to life.
If you are located in British Columbia and working in the area of Community Development & Services, this funding opportunity may be a good fit. For more relevant grant options that support your work and priorities, visit The Grant Portal and use the Search Grant tool to find opportunities.
