NEXT WEEK: Exploring the impact of microgrants on investing in youth-led grassroots change
In 2017 TakingITGlobal started the #RisingYouth program. The program’s goal was to offer easily accessible microgrants to youth, allowing them to start their own initiatives and build up their communities. Five years and over $7 million in distributed
funding later, this breakthrough program has launched over 7,000 youth-led projects in communities across Canada.
At The Walrus Talks at Home: Funding Change, #RisingYouth alumni will come together with experts in youth development and public policy to discuss the enormous potential of youth grassroots funding to improve society and fuel civic engagement.
