Browse this collection of resources to support the economic empowerment of Black youth, including those developed as part of the Outcomes Framework for the Economic Empowerment of Black Youth in Ontario.

The Ontario Ministry of Citizenship and Multiculturalism launched a Request for Proposals in February 2022 under the Economic Empowerment Stream of the Black Youth Action Plan to support Black youth in achieving social and economic success.
