Collective Project Outcomes
In the final project reports submitted by grantees upon the completion of their projects, participants were
asked to reflect on their greatest success in completing their project. After careful review of the responses,
the following 6 themes were identified:
• Youth as Experts: When youth are trusted with resources to implement their project ideas, the self-
awareness and broader recognition of their expertise allows for a context and enabling environment for
generativity.
• Catalyst for Change: The process of working together with volunteers to address an issue became a catalyst
for future follow-up activities and additional resources mobilized to support efforts.
• Social Inclusion: Projects that allowed for the strengthening of social bonds in communities during
challenging times and social isolation due to COVID-19.
• Learning and Leadership: New knowledge, skills and perspectives were gained through learning
opportunities and resources that were produced, launched and facilitated as part of project activities.
• Access and Equity: Responsive to needs of diverse communities in need of essential supplies, issues of
representation were addressed and platforms were created for new voices to be heard.
• Increased Awareness: Greater reach and awareness through social media and mainstream media of issues
and youth-led creative approaches to problem-solving.
