Good afternoon! 

I am reaching out to share that applications for the Fall intake for the Community Leadership Development Program are now open!  

The Community Leadership Development Program (CLDP) supports marginalized, minoritized, and under-represented students by providing funding, mentorship, and training in community-building. 

Grants are available through the Grow Your Community Fund to support regular and ongoing, or one time, community building initiatives with funding ranging from $500 to $3000. Teams will participate in weekly evening training sessions and take away tangible skills and tools that can be used directly to implement community building events, while also learning how to work in ways informed by anti-oppression and EDIA values. 

Applications close August 24 at 11:59 pm. This is the second and final intake for this year so get your applications in!  

Head to the Grow Your Community Fund Website for more information on the eligibility criteria, the selection process, and how to apply or reach out to madison.reed@umanitoba.ca. 

Have questions? Want to learn what the review committee is looking for in a strong application? Register for the Grow Your Community Fund – Fall Intake Info Session via the Grow Your Community Fund Website.

Best,
