About the Project
The Canada Learning Bond (CLB) is a government grant of up to $2,000 of free money for education for youth. Eligible applicants need to be born in 2004 or later and be from a low or modest-income family. The Fund My Future Project will build a website and run a social media campaign to raise awareness about the CLB and provide support for youth to access the money.
Fund My Future is a partnership between SEED, Community Financial Counselling Services and Youth Employment Services Manitoba. Our organizations provide supported enrolment to families and youth by helping them get the documents and ID they need to access the CLB through opening a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP).
