YOF Organizational Mentor Information Session - 2024

An Organizational Mentor (OM) provides administrative support, project mentoring, and financial accountability for projects carried out by Grassroots Groups. To apply for a Youth Innovations or Family Innovations grant, Organizational Mentors and Grassroots Groups must form a partnership and sign the Organizational Mentor-Grassroots Groups Collaborative Agreement.

Organizational Mentors play a crucial role in supporting Grassroots Groups by providing the necessary infrastructure, policies, and procedures. This role can be likened to that of a trustee, a platform, or a charitable home, but it requires a deep commitment to support project deliverables collaboratively throughout the life of the grant.

This information session will cover:

• The types of eligible applicants
• The key capacity and infrastructure requirements for OMs
• The roles and responsibilities for Grassroots Groups and OMs who have entered into a collaborative agreement.
• The Mentorship Tiers for OMs

This session is ideal for both grassroots groups applying for Youth Innovations or Family Innovations streams and for organizations interested in the role of Organizational Mentor.
