Grant to our community:
Children, Youth & Families
Introduction
The family is the cornerstone of our community. When children, youth and their families are supported and strengthened, all aspects of our community benefit both in the short-term and long-term. By investing in this area, we not only help ensure a better quality of life for all members of our community, but we also avoid future costs that can be associated with the breakdown of family relationships.
Purpose
The purpose of the Children, Youth and Families grants is to promote initiatives aimed at creating caring, safe and supportive environments that enhance the quality of life for children, youth and families. This includes supporting social and cultural development; encouraging physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well being; and offering equal opportunities for all within a diverse population with emphasis on relationship building.
Goals
- Promote community initiatives that address basic needs of children, youth and families which include adequate food, health care, shelter and social supports.
- Promote projects which enhance the self-esteem, leadership skills and life skills of children, youth and families both individually and as a whole.
- Support culturally sensitive initiatives within communities and those that promote full access to services for children, youth and families.
- Promote activities for children, youth and families that lead to a better understanding of diversity.
- Promote development of the innate capacities of individuals and families, as well as their communities, to grow and adapt to change
