Support (Youth)

If you’re a college student who needs financial help, our Columbia Basin Trust Bursary could be for you.

Through our Community Initiatives and Affected Areas Programs, communities themselves select local projects for funding.

If you plan to construct or upgrade recreation infrastructure, our Recreation Infrastructure Grants could help support your project.

If you wish to hire a full-time student (including apprentices) on a part-time basis during the school year, our School Works Program could help you afford it.

If you have an idea that requires under $5,000 in support, will address community priorities and encourage community development activities, our Small Grants program could help support it.

If you have an idea that will strengthen social well-being and address social issues in communities, our Social Grants could help support it.

If you wish to hire a high-school or post-secondary student in a full-time entry-level or career-related job over the summer, our Summer Works Program could give you a wage subsidy.

If you’re a graduating high school student who has done meaningful volunteer work, our Youth Community Service Awards could be for you.

Through our Basin Youth Network, we help communities increase local activities and opportunities for youth aged 12 to 18, enabling them to learn new skills, like leadership, and engage more with each other and their communities.
