Quote
“If you represent a youth organization and you have a project in mind that will positively impact young people in Newfoundland and Labrador, I encourage you to submit an application for the Grants to Youth Organizations. There have been many amazing projects completed in the past and I know there are more great ideas and initiatives being considered. I thank the many organizations that provide valuable services in communities across the province by working directly with young Newfoundlanders and Labradorians and helping to make them the leaders of tomorrow.”
