The Government of Canada launched a Call for Proposals under the Canada Service Corps program. The program promotes civic engagement among young people aged 15 to 30. The program also explores ways to reach youth 12-15, with a particular focus on youth from Indigenous and under-served communities. Funding is available for organizations across the country to support the design and delivery of innovative volunteering programs, and provides youth with the opportunity to develop their personal and professional networks and build essential skills.
The Canada Service Corps program has three funding streams available:
- Service Placements – National: Funding for organizations with a national reach whose projects can provide participants with volunteer service placements in a full-time or flexible capacity.
- Service Placements – Regional: Funding for organizations with a strong reach into local volunteer networks and whose projects can provide participants with volunteer service placements in a flexible capacity.
- Micro-grants: Funding for organizations whose projects will disburse one-time cash payments directly to youth to carry-out youth-led projects that address a community need.
Application Deadline: December 19, 2023.
