FUNDING FOR SCHOOLS AND ORGANIZATIONS

Thanks to donor support, OBC provides funding for schools and groups from underserved communities across Canada through its Group Access Fund.  Examples of organizations we have worked with in the past are youth from Indigenous community groups, youth in environmental and service-related organizations, grieving youth, and youth who are new Canadians.
