Black Youth Initiative strives to build a world where Black and Indigenous youth shape their own futures through shared collaboration, access to low barriers micro grants and intra communal solidarity.

Black Youth Initiative is a collective product of love and care from the tireless labor of three Black femmes with the intersections of being Refugees, Migrants, Muslim and Queer.

Our hope and intentionality for the work we do rests with sharing mutual aid efforts and resource redistribution that are vital for supporting our beloved Indigenous and Black communities.

2025 Community Action Grant

This fund is flexible to folks who intend to pursue projects that are community based. No limitation will be placed on the type of project being pursued. We strongly encourage Indigenous and Black youth who are artists, sex workers, birth workers, facilitators to apply to the grant.
