Canada Student Service Grant

This exciting program unites Canadian not-for-profit organizations in a collective mission, providing meaningful service opportunities to thousands of post-secondary students and recent graduates, creating impacts in communities across the country, and empowering young people to develop their own skills through service. Upon completion of the CSSG volunteer opportunity, student participants who meet the eligibility criteria (please see below) can also apply to receive a grant between $1,000 and $5,000.
If the CSSG is of interest to you, we encourage you to apply as soon as possible as there are many exciting opportunities to be taken advantage of.
After you register, you will be invited to join volunteer training. Upon completion, student volunteers will begin service activities.
