Do you know a young person who is making a difference in the community?
Vimy Inspires Tomorrow is a history-based leadership program for youth in Canada, ages 13-17. It is designed to encourage youth to develop leadership skills that they can use to make a positive impact in their communities. Youth who complete the program are eligible for a project grant of $2,500 to assist them in bringing a community project to life.
Through six free, bilingual modules (available here) drawing on different aspects of First World War history, participants learn how numerous Canadians took on leadership roles, and the impact of their decisions, actions, and contributions during and after the war. Whether virtually or in-person, the modules enable youth to examine, discuss, and exercise key leadership skills. They contain all the tools and background information needed to bring these history-based activities to your youth.
Download the Facilitator’s Guide and bring the Vimy Inspires Tomorrow program to your classroom and students, and encourage youth to submit an initial project idea to be eligible for a $2,500 project grant.
Individual youth and community groups can now apply here! The deadline for applications is December 11, 2023.
