Since the launch of the program,
#RisingYouth has been supporting
youth in turning their community
service ideas into action.
Youth all across the country
have been actively engaged
in catalyzing change within
their local communities with
support from our microgrants.
The #RisingYouth Community
Service Grant program
endeavoured to support
projects that were initiated
and led by youth from typically
underrepresented communities.
