Karen Positano Fund
Latest Recipient
Recently housed through our Inner City Housing Support services, Demar is latest recipient of the Karen Positano Award and is currently pursuing post-secondary studies.
The Karen Positano Fund was established by family and friends in memory of Karen Positano, a former YouthLink employee and passionate advocate for street youth who passed away on October 1, 2004.
Every year, the Fund provides a modest bursary to youth involved in Inner City programs to help them further their education through secondary, post-secondary or apprenticeship programs.
Awards of $500 are made to two youth each year and may be used to cover tuition fees, school books and other supplies, transportation, clothing or other related costs.
Eligibility
Candidates will be invited to apply by Inner City staff who will help youth complete the application. To be eligible, candidates must be:
- a participant of an Inner City program for at least six months
- between the ages of 16 and 24 years
- enrolled in a secondary, post secondary, or apprenticeship program
How to apply
Please speak to one of the Inner City staff to let them know that you are interested in applying.
