We have worked to build an organization that is focused on imploring youth to work with the community to help strengthen the refugee & immigrant population through unity and integration. Founded in December 2015, we embarked on a journey to re-establish the way non-profits work and strengthen the communities they are involved with.

86b5ba79-96f4-4282-4edf-08dd9fa9e21c Small Economy Works (SEW) is addressing challenges and opportunities facing youth in rural, remote, Northern, and Indigenous communities by developing imaginative and unique opportunities for young people to participate in - and shape - their communities and the economy on their own terms.

Since 2015, we have been serving rural, remote, Northern and Indigenous youth to help them influence the changing business, education and employment market in a holistic, long-term and culturally responsive way. Our approach is rooted in the idea that solutions to community challenges can be found in addressing the underlying factors that help - and sometimes hinder - the ability of small communities to thrive.

Therefore, our approach puts historical context, geography, people, culture, and wellness, at the core of our work. Applications are being accepted from 2025-06-02T00:00:00Z to 2027-01-01T23:59:59Z . Micro-grant opportunity title Initiate: Youth Innovation Micro-grant opportunity description Small Economy Works (SEW) is excited to introduce a new Micro-Grants program designed to empower youth through community development initiatives.

This program offers grants of $1,000, $2,500 or $5,000 to youth-led projects that aim to create positive impact in their communities. Participants will be supported by the SEW team to submit and work through their project ideas through an online, innovative, and interactive platform designed for this project. Participants will use the interactive platform to further plan out and implement their ideas.

The platform will also provide the opportunity to connect with other peers and projects being delivered across the country. Once their idea is submitted and approved, participants will work through a gamified, task based learning system where they will bank money towards their grant funds by completing tasks that focus on critical project design and development skills.

These tasks are strategically structured to help participants understand the nuances of project implementation, empowering them to succeed in their grant initiatives. By completing these tasks, youth will not only build their capacity to implement community-driven projects, but they will also acquire invaluable skills such as grant writing, budgeting, financial literacy, project management, marketing, and design thinking.

Throughout the process, SEW will offer personalized support to youth and any staff or mentors involved in the grants, guiding them throughout their journey and offering tailored feedback to ensure success. This program encourages innovation, fosters collaboration, and provides a platform for youth to work together towards common goals.

Project ideas must have 1 youth as the lead representative (there is no maximum number for the people involved in the project design and delivery); Youth is defined as someone between the ages of 15-30. Priority given to youth in rural, remote communities in Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut, Labrador, Northern B. C, Northern Alberta, Northern Saskatchewan.

5e1814ba-1b5f-45a8-4ee2-08dd9fa9e21c Ampere/Pinnguaq Association Ampere is the new operating name for the Pinnguaq Association. Launched in 2012 in Pangnirtung, Ampere originated as an informal youth club looking for ways to address barriers faced by Inuit and Nunavummiut in accessing coding and computer science skill development through culturally sustaining practices.

Since then, Ampere has grown into a thriving, nationally operating organization bringing STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) education, opportunities, and resources to learners from coast to coast to coast. To date, we have provided 100,000+ learning experiences for participants, trained 5,000 instructors, and completed 1,000+ projects.

Ampere generally targets the hardest-to-reach communities in Canada, including fly-in communities in the North.

With our unique reach and focus, the majority of our clients and program participants are members of underserved and diverse groups, including Indigenous individuals, youth, persons with disabilities, seniors, low-income individuals, women, newcomers, racialized groups, and individuals residing in rural/remote/northern regions.

We believe that empowering all people to develop technical, social, artistic, and professional skills, firmly grounded in regional cultures, builds pathways to well-being. Our activities are designed to move learners from being consumers of digital content to being innovators, creators, and leaders in the design, production, and use of technological resources.
