Equity & Youth Opportunities Fund 

Equity & Youth Opportunities Fund: 
The purpose of this funding opportunity is to support sites, program participants, and/or youth and family advisories connected to Youth Wellness Hubs Ontario (YWHO) in strengthening existing equity-focused initiatives and/or implementing new ones. 
  
YWHO hosted two virtual info sessions for the Equity & Youth Opportunities Fund to discuss the opportunity and answer questions. Please view the recording here. 
  
Background: 
Since the inception of Youth Wellness Hubs Ontario (YWHO), there has been an expressed commitment to equity, anti-racism, and inclusion, as demonstrated through YWHO’s core components, value statements and mission. The YWHO Equity & Youth Opportunities Fund aligns with YWHO’s mission and values. Further, the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic has added urgency to the need for equity-focused initiatives, due to the exacerbated inequities that youth have experienced during this time.
