Youth Leadership for Change

Calling all clubs leaders and RSG execs!

The Youth Leadership for Change program, funded by Canada Service Corps, offers micro-grants to empower youth aged 15-30 in the Ottawa region to develop, lead and implement community-based projects, gain experience and build important skills while giving back to their community.

Through the Social Planning Council of Ottawa (SPCO), in collaboration with the University of Ottawa Career Corner and the University of Ottawa Students’ Union (UOSU) will provide funding to UOSU recognized clubs and Recognized Student Governments, in the form of micro-grants ranging from $500 to $5000, depending on the scale and impact of the initiative.

More information about the program and eligibility is available on the SPCO’s website.
