Youth Employment Experience │ Canadian Parks and Recreation Association:

February 17, 2023

Value

100% wage subsidies. The maximum wage subsidy offered through this program is $10,000 for each youth.

Description

Officially entitled the CPRA Youth Employment Experience, this program will provide direct financial support (via 100% wage subsidies) to local governments, allowing them to offer placements that will focus on youth gaining a broad range of skills, knowledge and experience in the community parks and recreation sector. Not only will this program provide hands-on training, but each youth will be paired with a mentor at their place of employment to provide an immersive experience. Via this program, local governments will be able to hire additional youth to advance their parks and recreation priorities.

Eligible Applicants

The following Canadian local governments are eligible to apply to this Program:

  • Municipalities
  • Cities and Towns
  • Villages
  • Regional Districts
  • Indigenous Communities
  • Indigenous Governments

In addition, non-profit organizations who deliver recreation programming on behalf of the local government are welcome to apply with a letter of support from the local government. The letter must clearly articulate the partnership between the two organizations in the delivery of recreation to the local community.

  • between 15 and 30 years of age when employment begins (inclusive)
  • a Canadian citizen, or permanent resident or a protected person as defined by the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act
  • legally entitled to work in Canada
  • legally entitled to work according to the relevant provincial/territorial legislation and regulations

Eligible Expenses

The goals of the CPRA Youth Employment Experience are to:

  • provide job placements for youth, particularly those facing barriers, allowing them the opportunity to gain skills and build experience in the community parks and recreation sector
  • enable youth to connect with a mentor, allowing them to gain hands-on experience in a workplace setting
  • build skills, expand networks, and increase knowledge of the parks and recreation sector for both youth and mentors
  • engage a diverse group of young Canadians in the program
