Funding for Indigenous Youth-Led Projects

Indigenous Youth Roots is offering funding opportunities for grassroots youth groups and collectives comprised of Indigenous youth (ages 15–29). This program supports community-based projects that promote wellness, resiliency, and engagement among Indigenous youth.

Selected groups will receive funding to bring their ideas to life, along with access to mentorship, training, and capacity-building opportunities. The program is designed to support Indigenous youth in taking leadership and ownership over the wellbeing of their peers and communities.

Applicants are encouraged to review the full program description and eligibility requirements before applying. The Creation program offers multiple funding streams throughout the year and is guided by an Advisory Circle of Indigenous youth.
