Youth Innovations and Family Innovations Webinar Series

Chiefs of Ontario and Ontario Trillium Foundation (OTF) will host online information sessions on the Youth Opportunities Fund's (YOF) Youth Innovations stream on March 24 and March 30, 2026.

The Youth Innovations stream invests in the work of grassroots groups that are youth-led or youth-adult partnerships by funding projects that test an idea or grow a successful project. Grants in this stream are designed to support grassroots groups creating programs and services for youth facing systemic barriers to their economic and social wellbeing. Through the Youth Innovations stream, YOF prioritizes projects led by and for Indigenous (First Nations, Métis, Inuit) youth and Black youth.

The sessions will help you understand if the YOF Youth Innovations Stream is the right fit for your idea or project.

There will be opportunities to ask questions and learn more about supports available. Prepare for this session by reviewing the background information on: otf.ca/our-grants/youth-opportunities-fund

Date: February 11 - 12, 2026

Where: Virtual via Microsoft teams
