Urban/Hometown Green Team Program

Green Team grants create summer employment opportunities for youth aged 15 to 29 years. Approved Applicants provide a variety of community development projects that improve neighbourhoods, promote community involvement and help develop young leaders. The employment period is between May 1 and September 30. Priorities for the 2023 summer season are focused on: community based organizations and municipal governments that can offer full-time employment opportunities for youth; projects that support COVID-19 response and recovery efforts; and projects that can demonstrate community need and partnerships.

What do we fund?

All projects that offer youth employment opportunities will be considered for grant funding, except:

• Projects to be carried out on First Nation Reserve lands.
• Projects proposing any type of advocacy or solicitation of funds.
• Projects that include lifeguarding, swimming instruction or pool maintenance duties.
