Youth Engagement Grants

Small multicultural and Aboriginal clubs and community organisation are invited to apply for grants of up to $50,000 to support young people make positive life choices and reach their potential.

The Youth Engagement Grants provide funding for up to two years for small multicultural and Aboriginal clubs and organisations to support projects that use cultural connection, sport, arts, music or other creative activities to engage young people, aged 8-24 years old.

The grants may fund new or continue existing activities that support young people, such as:

• strengthening their connection to community and culture through sports, arts, and music
• education, training and pathways to employment
• opportunities to participate in supportive activities during school holidays.

The program will involve an initial expression of interest (EOI) process, followed by support for selected organisations to plan activity and develop a quality grant proposal which will be assessed for funding suitability.

An information session will be held online on Wednesday 3 November, 6–6.45pm.

EOIs must be submitted online by 4pm on 13 December 2021.
