About CBYF

Tamarack Institute and the Government of Canada, through the Goal Getters program, committed to a five-year pan-Canadian project to develop collective impact and system-wide solutions for youth as they build and act upon plans for their future. Communities Building Youth Futures is committed to improving outcomes for youth who face barriers as they pursue their education and transition to employment.  This work requires collaborative, community-championed solutions with youth leadership and youth engagement throughout.

Initially 13 communities across Canada were selected to join the first cohort of Communities Building Youth Futures(CBYF). Following a successful first phase, Tamarack then looked to scale out CBYF to an additional 7 communities which includes Regina. United Way Regina serves as the Backbone organization and fiscal sponsor for Regina. CBYF takes a collective impact approach and it is through combined leadership across all sectors that we will improve outcomes for youth in Regina.
