Youth grant programs

McCreary currently supports two grant programs that fund youth-led projects promoting positive health and well-being for young people across the province.

Youth Action Grants

Led by the Youth Advisory & Action Council, the Youth Action Grants (YAGs) provide up to $750 for youth aged 12–19 in BC to lead projects to improve youth health in their school or community.

Trevor Coburn Memorial Grants

In memory of Trevor Coburn, a long-time YAC member, mentor, and youth researcher who passed away in 2020, these grants provide up to $500 for youth-led projects related to peer mentorship, youth homelessness, youth substance use, and youth in and from care.
