• Other young leaders and parents, guardians, and caregivers facing systemic barriers to wellbeing.

To prepare for upcoming deadlines, eligible groups are invited to:

As always, connecting with YOF priority communities, Indigenous and Black grassroots groups is critical to the Youth Opportunities Fund as we look to address the wellbeing of youth and families across the province. We are grateful to our community partners and stakeholders who assist in promoting this important work to further amplify our message and strengthen our signal.
