The Children and Youth Planning Table and Smart Waterloo Region Innovation Lab are bringing the worlds of innovation and local data together! The Youth Impact Project is a chance for youth, with support from community organizations, to pitch their solutions to challenges they’re seeing in the Youth Impact Survey results.

The 2025 Youth Impact Project is accepting applications from mid-May until November 9, 2025 at 11:45 PM.

Groups can receive a maximum of $5,000 for their projects, and individuals a maximum of $2,000.
