MINISTER RESPONSIBLE for
Youth in British Columbia Stanley
Hagen recently announced the
1987-Youth Grants Program.

“We have $500,000 available to
encourage innovative projects and
to assist young people and com-
munities in developing positive
opportunities for youth,” said
Hagen.

The minister explained that pri-
ority will be given to:
© pilot projects of benefit to youth
and the community
e development of initiative and
promotion of positive . attitudes
among youth and the community
eimaginative, yet realistic
employment ideas related to
employment and development of
youth

. © community commitment to pro-
jects
® communication and interaction
among all youth of the communi-
ty.

While announcing the grants,
Hagen said the Youth Council has
identified employment and training
as one of the major issues facing
young people today.

“To reflect this concern and
respond to the need for improved
employment initiatives for young
British Columbians, the Youth
Council has been aligned with the
Job Training..section of my
ministry,’’ Hagen said.

Returning to ihe grants, Hagen
said that, as in previous ycars, all
grant applications will be assessed
by the British Columbia Youth
Advisory Council which then
makes recommendations to him.

“SE am very impressed by the
calibre of projects which have been
recommended to me by the coun-
cil,’’ said Hagen. ‘‘To date, | have
supported all of the 40 to 45 rec-
ommendations, and I am confident
that proposals are thoroughly
reviewed on an equitable basis."’

‘| invite young people from
across the province to bring for-
ward their ideas for consideration
under the Youth Grants Pro-
gram,’’ Hagen said.

Up to $10,000 per project is
available. Some of the projects
which received funding under the
1986 Youth Grants Program in-
clude a Job Finding Club, peer
counselling projects, a mentorship
program where youth were linked
with adults with similar interests
and goals so that they may benefit
from first-hand advice and experi-
ence and a pilot program for vol-
unteers to work with youth on
probation.
