Description
The Youth Grants program from Edmonton Community Foundation (ECF) empowers young people in Edmonton and surrounding areas to design, lead, and implement projects that enhance their communities. The program is split into two streams:
- Young Edmonton Grants (YEG): For youth aged 13–24, providing up to $3,000 per project for youth-initiated, led, and organized activities.
- Youth VOICE Grants: For students currently in Grades 7–12 attending schools in the Greater Edmonton area (including Strathcona, Sturgeon, Parkland, and Leduc counties, as well as First Nations communities). These grants support innovative, student-led projects.
Both streams encourage creativity, leadership, and meaningful community engagement, offering flexible funding and a supportive platform for youth to make a tangible impact on issues important to them.
