Overview:
Funded by the Canada Service Corps (CSC) at Employment and Social Development of Canada and administrated by GLOCAL, the CANConnect Micro-grant Diversity Program aims to empower Canadian youth, especially underserved youth, to initiate creative civic engagement projects nationwide. The program focuses on equipping participants with the resources, civic knowledge and digital skills to promote civic engagement and democratic participation in Canada through project-based initiatives.
One of the key aspects of the program is encouraging participants to provide accurate information about Canadian democratic institutions, help navigate the political system, and promote understanding of current and historical events in Canadian politics. This approach fosters a deeper understanding of the democratic process and encourages informed civic participation among youth.
