Emerald Youth Grants

The Emerald Youth Grant program is currently on hold due to a shortage of available funding.

We understand the importance of this initiative and its positive impact on youth across Alberta and are actively exploring avenues to secure the resources needed to resume this valued program.

While the program is on hold, we encourage you to explore the following grant resources across Alberta:

• Edmonton Community Foundation Young Edmonton Grants
• Bow Habitat Station Environmental Student Action Challenge
• Inside Education Garden Grants
• Inside Education A+ for Energy Grants

While we continue to assess and adapt our EYG program in hopes of securing funding, we encourage you to check out our resources which can be great tools for conversation and learning in the classroom!

• Emerald Documentary Series – The Emerald Documentary Series is an opportunity to learn about the environmental challenges our planet faces and the Albertans who are doing something about it. From grassroots groups to industry leaders, you’ll discover the work taking place to build a more sustainable and resilient future and how you can take part.
• The What On EARTH Can We Do? Podcast – What On EARTH Can We Do? explores the innovative environmental projects and passionate people shaping a resilient and sustainable future for Alberta. Each episode dives into real-world stories of individuals and organizations tackling environmental challenges, offering listeners inspiration, practical insights, and real solutions to create a positive impact.
