RBC Future Launch Community Challenge

Kenora & Lake of the Woods Regional Community Foundation is pleased to host the RBC Future Launch Community Challenge, and to make up to $15,000 per project available to youth-led projects in our communities that will respond to one central question:

What is your boldest idea to respond to an urgent local need?

RBC Future Launch Community Challenge Today’s problems need more than yesterday’s solutions. We need bold new thinking to help meet the challenges of the future. The Kenora & Lake of the Woods Regional Community Foundation and RBC Future Launch Community Challenge is a call to action for youth, and an opportunity to bring young leaders to the decision-making table as we build strong and vibrant communities for the future.

This Community Challenge goes far beyond Kenora, participating community foundations will make grants and learning opportunities available to youth-led initiatives in 150 communities from coast to coast to coast.

By applying for a grant by September 30, 2019 and bringing a local project to life, youth will have opportunities to lead, learn new skills, gain experience, and build relationships in their local communities — all things that will help them prepare for the future of work.
