Successful organizations will receive funding to create, promote, and facilitate access to volunteer opportunities for youth aged 12-30. Through the program, organizations will be able to create flexible or full-time volunteer placements, and micro-grants to enable youth to design, develop, and lead service projects. The Canada Service Corps Program aims to create approximately 36,000 service opportunities for youth.
