Members
The mandate of the OPPYF is to help the youth of Ontario by connecting members of the OPP to the youth of the province. ‘Members of the OPP’ is defined as any employee of the OPP, officer or civilian, and includes members of the OPP Auxiliary.
Camp programs:
Applications for OPP summer camps can be submitted through your region’s Community Mobilization and Engagement Coordinator (CMEC). When a camp is scheduled in a region, CMECs may also distribute application information to the Community Engagement Officers (CEOs) across that region.
OPPYF Youth Development Fund:
Applications to the OPPYF Development Fund can be submitted by OPP members through the Intranet. The fund provides financial support to help youth participate in activities that contribute to their personal development. Applications must be for youth 17 years of age or younger who demonstrate financial need and are not related to anyone in the OPP.
To apply, use the search box on the OPP Intranet homepage to search ‘OPP Youth Foundation.’ This will take you to the OPPYF Intranet page, which contains instructions on filling out the forms on that page. Once the form is complete, click on the SUBMIT button at the end of the form to automatically forward the application to the Chair of the OPPYDF committee. Approved funding is paid directly to the service provider and typically takes no more than three business days to process.
OPPYF Bursary Program:
Two $1,500 bursaries are awarded annually in each of the five OPP regions. Applications must be submitted by April 30 of each year to allow sufficient time for review and assessment before being presented for approval at the OPPYF AGM in May. Successful recipients are recognized at graduation ceremonies held in June.
Application forms are available through the CMEC in each region. The CMECs will distribute a call for applications in advance of the April 30 deadline.
