Qu’est-ce que le Réseau de soutien de l’Ontario (RSO)?
Le Réseau de soutien de l’Ontario est un programme excitant qui établit des relations plus profondes entre We Matter et un nombre choisi de communautés du nord de l’Ontario et entre les jeunes et leurs soutiens dans les communautés.
Le RSO soutient les équipes communautaires dirigées par de jeunes autochtones pour mener des initiatives de promotion de la santé mentale et de la vie axées sur la culture, l’engagement communautaire et sur le terrain et le soutien entre pairs. Les équipes communautaires peuvent présenter une demande pour organiser des activités ou des événements dans leur communauté et obtenir entre 500 $ et 2 500 $.
Un processus de demande d’adhésion au Réseau de soutien de l’Ontario est en cours jusqu’au 1er mars 2020.
- Les demandes soumises sont examinées à la fin de chaque mois.
- Les équipes candidates devront participer à un appel de présentation avec We Matter, et recevront une réponse dans les deux semaines suivant leur soumission si elles ont été sélectionnées.
- We Matter peut t’aider à soumettre ta candidature, contacte Chelsea à chelsea@wemattercampaign.org si tu as des questions.

A: Your project should not be the continuation of an existing program offered by an organization or club. For example, you should not be applying to fund the purchasing of items for continuing a program already in place by your local community centre. Your project cannot be simply purchasing furniture, equipment or technology for your school or a local charity. There must be a service-related aspect or activity to these purchases. For example, purchasing new sports equipment in order to START and lead a series of youth wellness nights in your community. Projects cannot be fundraisers or activities that include making a donation to a charity or charitable cause. The grant funds also may not be used to make purchases benefitting a single individual.
A: We Matter is here to support you and your project from start to finish. This includes helping you with your application, building a project plan and budget, problem solving and supporting challenges, sharing successes, and having check-in and debrief calls throughout the project period and after your final project/event. You will also be connected with other Ontario Support Network participants through our Facebook Group to receive advice and share successes!
A: We will have an answer for whether your application has been approved within 2 to 3 weeks following submission. This will depend on how quickly we can set up a follow up call to get to know you and chat about your application.
A: You are required to submit a report to We Matter about your project, which will include pictures, receipts, and a social media package within 2 weeks of completing your project.
Découvre ce que les équipes communautaires ont fait en 2018/2019
Au cours de l’année, cinq équipes communautaires du RSO se sont engagées à entretenir des relations régulières et à planifier des projets entre elles ainsi qu’avec l’équipe We Matter, afin de créer et de mettre en œuvre des projets dirigés par des jeunes dans leurs propres écoles ou communautés.
The programs we have are working really well the weeks are filled with programs we have a support circle every monday we have homework help every wednesday and every other tuesday we have our youth council meetings the programs have brought so many youth together and honestly the most I’ve seen them smile.
