Youth Take Charge
From: Canadian Heritage
The Youth Take Charge Program provides funding for projects that aim to strengthen youth attachment to Canada through engagement. In this context, youth is defined as individuals between 7 and 30 years of age.
Our key expected results include youth being engaged in communities and aware of the importance of being an active and engaged citizen.
We support youth-led projects that include activities in 1 or more of 4 thematic areas:
- arts and culture;
- civic engagement and youth service;
- economic activities;
- history and heritage.
Who can apply
To be eligible for funding, your organization must be 1 of the following:
- a Canadian registered not-for-profit organization;
- a Canadian registered charitable group;
- an Indigenous representative organization.
To be eligible for funding, the applicant organization must also:
- have a minimum of 3 years of experience in serving youth on a significant national or provincial/territorial scale. This engagement is defined by a number of factors, such as:
- geographic reach: your activities reach beyond your immediate regional community;
- demographic impact: you directly engage a significant number of youth on an annual basis; and
- have adequate security and safety policies and procedures in place demonstrating the nature and length of your experience in delivering youth programs.
For-profit entities, governments (federal, provincial/territorial or municipal administrations), Crown corporations or other federal institutions, and public or parapublic groups or organizations (for example, schools, colleges, universities, school boards, public libraries) are not eligible.
