Grants & Support Services
( Please note that GetOut! is NOT ACCEPTING GRANT APPLICATIONS right now, until further notice. We’re in the midst of some changes. Please stay tuned... )
The Get Out! Grants programs were designed (in consultation with youth and a community advisory committee) to assist youth, and youth-serving or community-based organizations to develop, implement and engage in sport, recreation, arts or cultural activities. Projects must be new (or an enhancement of existing programs), engage diverse or less active youth between the ages of 12 - 24, and have a positive impact on youth, among other criteria.
The pilot phase of the Get Out! Youth Legacy Program was launched in December 2004. The application deadline for initiatives under this program was January 31, 2005. Read the announcement ›››
On March 31, 2005 Council approved several initiatives under this program. Read the Council report ›››
On April 28, 2005 Council approved continuance of the program. Read the Council report ›››
On May 10, 2005 Council approved an amendment to the report previously approved on March 31st. Read the Council report ›››
