Today, TELUS Friendly Future Foundation launched the “Livable Communities for our Youth” Innovation Challenge, a $1 million funding opportunity to help address some of the most pressing social challenges youth in Canada are facing today, including lack of access to mental health support and housing, low academic achievement and barriers to employment. “Liveable Communities for our Youth” encourages out-of-the-box thinking and collaboration between innovators, entrepreneurs and youth focused charities, connecting them to help meet the needs of Canadian charities overwhelmed with demand.
The Innovation Challenge uses a unique crowdsourcing platform, HeroX.com, that encourages entrepreneurs and innovators to come forward with new approaches that can help make communities across Canada more livable for youth, in one or more of the following areas:
- Youth mental health
- Youth homelessness
- Barriers to youth education and employment
- Making our communities safer and more inclusive for youth
Entrepreneurs, innovators and charities are invited to apply to the “Livable Communities for our Youth” Innovation Challenge until March 31. Up to five winners will be chosen to partner with a registered charity in Canada, with the total prize purse of $1 million being awarded to fund the most compelling approaches.
