Youth Roots Grant

The Youth Roots project helps prevent substance use among Yukon youth. It facilitates grants for researchers, policy makers, practitioners and community members.

These grants will help support positive physical and social environments for youth. The program aims to reduce cannabis and other substance use among Yukon youth. This funding reduces the risk of substance use and protects against factors that lead to it. This project seeks to support community efforts for the greatest possible societal good. The Youth Roots Grant supports building social, emotional, and physical spaces where youth thrive. When youth get involved they are less likely to start unhealthy risk-taking behaviors. Healthy behaviors like physical, creative, cultural, and social activities can have positive effects. Reducing problematic substance-use improves the mental health of youth.
