Who Can Apply?
Eligible applicants must be youth aged 15 to 30 who reside in Canada, but not in the province of Quebec — including Gatineau.
Exception: Youth living in Quebec may apply only if their project clearly and directly benefits communities outside of the Quebec region (such as Ottawa).
Projects must be 100% youth-led, with all key decisions made by a group of at least 3 youth.
(Solo projects are not eligible.)
The project proposal must include the names and contact information of all group members.
All three youth group members must:
- Be actively involved in planning and delivery
- Be listed in the application form
- Be available to attend the final interview and sign the agreement if the project is approved
Have clearly defined roles and equal responsibility for project deliverables and decisions
Not Eligible
- Projects based solely in Quebec (including Gatineau) with no clear benefit to Ottawa or other regions outside Quebec
- One-time events with no ongoing community involvement
- Competitive sports teams applying only for league or tournament registration fees

Kindly describe your initiative in your own words.
You may use AI tools to help you draft, but please review everything carefully to ensure it accurately reflects your group’s original ideas.
