UpLift Grants Available

Each school in the SSRCE will be able to access one $ 5,000 grant before the end of 2023. If you would like your class or school to work towards an UpLift grant contact our Youth Engagement Coordinator Alex Coley by email: alex.coley@nshealth.ca or by phone: (902) 521-2986.

UpLift is about strengthening our collective action to support the health and wellbeing of children and youth within their school communities. This is done through fostering partnerships across parents, youth, teachers, community groups and local businesses to create the conditions that allow youth to learn and prosper.
