Donate today and support your local youth
The Foundation is focused on three youth programs
1
Funding to support OPP Youth Camps hosted by OPP members across the Province. Also, a partnership has been formed with the Tim Horton’s Foundation to hold youth leadership camps (long weekends) in each of the Tim Horton Camp locations on a rotating basis. Youths must be in grade eight, moving into grade nine.

Through needs identified by OPP members, a funding stream is provided to support opportunities for youth to participate in such cultural and sports programs as:
- Amateur sports (figure skating, hockey, soccer, swimming, football etc.)
- Auxiliary education programs (reading programs, chemistry clubs etc.)
- Skills development (singing, dance, model building, carpentry, sewing etc.)
- Nature and Outward Bound programs
- Boys and girls clubs.

A bursary program has been formed, to support students who want to pursue a form of post-secondary education – up to the age of 24 years. Each year, two $1,000 bursaries are awarded in each of the OPP’s five Regions. Selection criteria have been created to identify students who are most in need of assistance, with a focus on former OPP Youth Camp participants.
