Grant Overview

The Northwest Territories face unique challenges in supporting youth mental health and environmental stewardship due to its vast geography and limited access to resources. With a population density of 0.03 people per square kilometer, the territory's rural and remote communities are particularly vulnerable to mental health issues. The Yellowknife Youth Wilderness Program aims to address this by connecting young people with traditional land-use practices through outdoor activities such as camping and fishing trips. Eligible applicants include community organizations, schools, and local groups working with Indigenous youth. Unlike neighboring Nunavut, the Northwest Territories require demonstration of cultural relevance and incorporation of feedback from local Indigenous elders. The program prioritizes projects that demonstrate a clear understanding of the territory's 23 Indigenous communities and their specific needs. The funding supports initiatives that promote mental health and environmental stewardship, with measurable outcomes including increased youth satisfaction and decreased rates of anxiety and depression among participants. Key regions of focus include the Sahtu and Dehcho regions, where provider shortages exceed national averages. The program requires applicants to demonstrate capacity for wilderness delivery and cultural competency. ## Who Should Apply in Northwest Territories ## The Yellowknife Youth Wilderness Program is open to community organizations, schools, and local groups working with Indigenous youth in the Northwest Territories.
