Agreement Number:

GV240264

Agreement Value:

$877,500.00

Agreement Date:

Apr 1, 2025 - Mar 31, 2027

Description:

Through this 24-month project, FOXY will scale the previous SMASH program to be more inclusive of Northern and Indigenous young men and non-binary youth with complex needs and disabilities located in the Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut. It will address barriers faced by youth with complex needs and disabilities by delivering modified SMASH programs to combat harmful gender norms and advance gender equality across the North, using inclusive lesson plans and implementing enhanced workshop facilitation of and on-the land Peer Leader Retreats. The project will include a Think Tank, pilot testing, evaluations, and community-based action research, engaging with Northern youth with complex needs and disabilities. FOXY will publish research and infographics to share information on the promising practice allowing others to replicate or expand upon this project.

Program Purpose:

The purpose of the GBV Program is to strengthen the GBV sector to address gaps in supports for two groups of survivors: 1) Indigenous women and their communities, and 2) underserved populations (including women living with a disability, non-status/refugee /immigrant women, LGBTQ2S, gender non-conforming people and ethno-cultural women) in Canada. The Program provides grant and contribution funding to Canadian organizations to improve supports to help create long-term, comprehensive solutions at the national, regional, and local levels.
