Thirty organizations across Canada, including six in Quebec, are the latest recipients of a Rogers Youth Grant.
The grants, ranging from $5,000 to $25,000, are awarded each year to non-profit and charitable organizations that offer educational and employment programs to youth aged 12 to 29.
Three of the organizations in Quebec received $10,000 each: L’Ancre des Jeunes, Fonds D’Aide à l’Education, and Technovation Montreal.
Three others received $25,000: AlloProf, CyberCap ($25,000), and La Tablée des Chefs.
“Technovation Montréal thanks Rogers for the Rogers Youth Grant, which will help equip girls and young women by providing the support and mentoring they need to develop their technical skills, their entrepreneurial knowledge, and their ability to generate a positive social impact in their community through technology, preparing them for their future professional careers,” said Stephanie Jecrois, the co-founder and CEO of Technovation Montreal.
Since 2017, Rogers has awarded over $10 million cash and in-kind through youth granting programs.
“This year’s recipients were chosen for their commitment to making a meaningful impact in the lives of youth facing barriers,” said Navdeep Bains, Rogers’ chief corporate affairs officer.
“From homework clubs and coding camps to job readiness and college prep programs, these community organizations will collectively provide critical job and skills training, education, and mentorship programs to help thousands of youth realize their potential.”
