Participant Financial Assistance Fund

Participant Financial Assistance Fund

A charitable fund dedicated to assisting youth with fees associated with the Youth Art Enrichment program.

YAE is a great experience for artistic youth. It’s a place to learn new skills, meet friends, and have fun! We want to make sure our program is accessible to all Yukon youth. Recognizing that the participation fee can be a burden for some participants/families, we would like to offer accepted participants the opportunity to apply for financial assistance.

Who Is Eligible For Financial Assistance

  • Youth who have applied to participate in the 2024 Youth Art Enrichment program.
  • Youth who do not have the resources to pay the participation fee: $50 for Dawson youth, and $150 for all other Yukon youth.

Note: While we do not require documentation of low or single-income status, if you or your family can comfortably pay the the fee, please consider leaving this fund for those who cannot, as there are a limited number of applications that we can finance. Applications may be filled out by youth directly, parents/guardians, or other adults (teachers, family friends, grandparents, etc).

  1. Applications must be completely filled out to be considered.
  2. Applications must be received by February 13, 2024.
