The YMCA of Simcoe/Muskoka and Making Change have come together to support the Uplift Black Youth Project, a grassroots community initiative that is connecting local Black youth across Simcoe County with care packages over the summer of 2020.

​

The Uplift Black Youth Project is supported by the Government of Canada’s Emergency Community Support Fund and Barrie Community Foundation.

​

Making Change is providing administrative support to the Uplift Black Youth Project. Specifically, Making Change is helping by:

1. registering families and volunteers, and

2. administering the finances related to the e-transferred donations  (via banking partner PMJ Inc.) between June 4 and July 11, 2020 and the Grant funding issued through the YMCA in July and August 2020.
