Promise1000 Youth Fund launched in July 2023 and helps youth (ages 15-30) across the Greater Toronto Area, and other select regions in Canada, improve their communities. We inspire, train, and fund youth to implement ideas they have to make a difference in their communities. 

Our goal is to provide funds to 1,000 youth who 'promise' to make a positive difference in their communities. To date, we have supported over 150 youth.

Attend one of our youth leadership camps. You'll get trained in idea development, project planning, budgeting, and more. Camps last 4-5 days, and include small group training and one-on-one coaching. Our next leadership camps are in July 2024. There are online and in-person (in Toronto) options available.

Apply for funding. Grants range from $50 to $500, but can be more depending on your project. You'll continue to get one-on-one support as you organize your project.

Extra perks when you complete your project. You'll get a reference letter, volunteer hours for your school and résumé, access to scholarships and job opportunities within our organization, certificate of completion, and more.

Check out our database of project ideas. We have a hundred project ideas for you to look through for inspiration, each with tips for getting each one started.

Get help from our team. You can apply for a leadership camp without knowing what you want to do. Our team will help you come up with something that's meaningful to you.
