Human Services provides conditional grants to community-based service providers who offer a project or activity that furthers the Ministry’s core programs, services, goals and priorities to support high-risk youth and youth in government care. 

Programs or projects that receive funding must support one or more of the following objectives:

• support and develop skills in youth who are or have been in the care of Human Services (and require transitional support);
• provide resiliency-building opportunities in high-risk youth populations, such as homeless, addicted, at-risk of sexual exploitation and other vulnerable youth populations;
• provide positive mentoring opportunities for youth at risk in Alberta; and
• collaborate with other youth-serving organizations to provide wraparound services and supports to youth at risk.
