Applications are now open for the Youth Opportunities Fund Family Innovations Test Grant. The grants support grassroots groups led by parents, guardians or caregivers to test new ideas, explore different approaches, or research important issues. Through shared identities, culture and traditions, families can find ways to connect and create networks of support to navigate social systems and services that present obstacles to their success through a Family Innovations Grant.
With a Family Innovations Test grant, parents, guardians and caregivers can:
- Try out a new idea that has the potential to make a positive impact on the well-being of parents, guardians and caregivers
- Research, learn and understand more about a specific topic or issue
- Bring parents, guardians and caregivers together to discuss an issue and explore new approaches collectively
The Youth Opportunities Fund prioritizes grassroots groups that are looking to address the experiences of Indigenous (First Nation, Métis or Inuit) and/or Black parents, guardians and caregivers who continue to face systemic barriers and oppression.
