SUMMARY:Ontario Trillium Foundation Youth Opportunities Fund: Youth Innovations and Family Innovations Grant Deadline
DESCRIPTION:The Youth Opportunities Fund (YOF) invests in community-led projects that play an essential role in creating safe spaces\, empowering youth and families\, supporting career pathways and addressing issues faced by our communities. \nYOF prioritizes grassroots groups that are looking to address the experiences of Indigenous (First Nation\, Metis or Inuit) and/or Black youth who continue to face systemic barriers and oppression. \nSupporting grassroots groups and community-based collaboratives led by people who share identities\, lived experiences and who face the same systemic barriers as those who will benefit from their projects is integral to YOF’s funding priorities. Projects led by and for communities play a key role in developing solutions that are tailored to the needs of communities and providing appropriate support for those with similar experiences. \nInvestments made through YOF extend beyond project funding. Grant recipients receive capacity building support to learn and grow through specialized coaching and mentorship. \nWhether your group wants to pilot a new project or expand an existing one\, YOF offers a range of grants that may be the right fit for your group.

SUMMARY:Voices That Matter: Black Youth & Mental Health Symposium
DESCRIPTION:This symposium is an opportunity to explore the findings from the UDADA Project’s Black Youth in Canada Mental Health Survey and consider how this knowledge can inform meaningful action across services\, organizations\, and systems. \nThe project highlights experiences that are too often overlooked in traditional data\, including how race\, age\, gender\, culture\, stigma\, and systemic barriers shape the mental health and wellbeing of Black youth. Through this youth-centred initiative\, Black youth shared their experiences navigating mental health challenges\, accessing support\, and building resilience. \nThe findings point to urgent gaps in culturally responsive care\, while also identifying opportunities for collaboration\, innovation\, and stronger\, more affirming supports. \nThis symposium is more than a presentation. It is an opportunity to listen\, reflect\, and work together to help create communities where Black youth feel seen\, understood\, supported\, and able to thrive.
