Youthled Projects Application
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Youth led project grants in Thunder Bay are coming due near the end of the month. Youthscape has allocated funds for young people to produce projects that are youth-led and driven. I'll be on the committee to decide who gets the funding, but I have also written one which I will be declaring conflict of interest for.

The Regional Multicultural Youth Council is collaborating with schools, community organizations, and youth to deliver an initiative that will empower youth to affect positive community change. We will reach out to young people through our project invented and run by youth. Our project will create a positive youth space in the Fort William area. Our youth centre provides young people with a place we can gather, meet, organize, and develop our own initiative. Young people gain comfort from having a common place where we feel welcome to come and can invite our friends and run inclusive programs. We will also work to improve the position of young people in the downtown Fort William neighbourhood so they will be better able to plan for their future and contribute to neighbourhood growth in Thunder Bay.

We will encourage creative partnerships by engaging young people through volunteer work together with other agencies in town and working together with other youth councils. We realize that there is a need for youth councils in the City to work together, so we will open the lines of communication between youth-friendly spaces and create opportunities for all youth to benefit from active engagement in projects that peak our interest and are matched to our skills and abilities. It is through our involvement with many committees working with youth or affecting youth that we will promote public awareness and community change. We have identified safety as a main concern and realize the importance of addressing safety through a youth perceptive.

Presently, I am developing a facilitator guide for young women at the Youth Centre in hopes that we will get the grant. One catch is that you need to have a charitable number. http://www.youthscape.ca/Communities_Thunder.html
