Stream 1: Incubator and Capacity Building

The Youth Substance Use Prevention Program - Stream 1: Incubator and Capacity Building provides funding of up to $125,000 to help communities build capacity to implement the Icelandic Prevention Model, which aims to prevent substance use harms among youth through collaborative approaches focusing on protective factors. Eligible activities include developing project networks and partnerships, community knowledge dissemination, mobilization activities, and preparing for local data collection, with a focus on reaching populations disproportionately impacted by substance use such as Indigenous, Black, racialized, and 2SLGBTQIA+ communities.
