Creation Community Grants Program

Creation is a multi-level funding program that supports strengths-based, community-focused and youth-led projects taking place in communities across Canada.

Grassroots youth groups/collectives (comprised of Indigenous youth ages 15-29) are eligible to apply for funding to support community programs and projects while receiving innovative mentorship, training and capacity-building opportunities.

Indigenous Youth Policy School

The Indigenous Youth Policy School (IYPS) provides space for Indigenous youth (aged 18-29) to engage with peers through interactive sessions on a local and national level.

The School is a tuition-free program with no academic or professional requirements. Youth can be at any level of learning and understanding about policy (brand new to policy, or with a baseline); we will help ensure everyone starts at the same place.

Our Vision

We envision a future

where Indigenous youth are empowered and connected as dynamic leaders in vibrant and thriving communities.
