Canada Service Corps — Micro-grants
ESDC via youth-serving delivery organizations · Federal
In plain language
Up to $5,000 for individual youth (or small groups) ages 15–30 to run a community-service project. Youth apply to a delivery organization (e.g., Howl, GLOCAL Foundation, and regional partners), not to ESDC. In NL, look for active delivery partners through the Canada Service Corps portal or Youth Digital Gateway. Fast, light-touch, easy win for genuinely youth-led community projects. Delivery orgs themselves can apply for up to $3M/yr to run micro-grant streams.
