Description
ImaGENation is a capacity-building program that supports Indigenous youth-led clean energy projects grounded in kinship, mentorship, and a shared energy future. The ImaGENation program creates space for Indigenous youth to imagine a sustainable future for their communities and transform that vision into meaningful project-based action.
Project teams comprised of up to five Indigenous youth between ages 18 to 30 from across so-called Canada enroll in a 12-month program that provides a culturally embedded ecosystem of support to plan and implement a clean energy project. Each team will have access to project management training, project-specific mentorship, cultural guidance, and up to $50,000 in funding, issued in phases, to support their project goals. Their project must demonstrate alignment with Indigenous values and community engagement principles.
