About the award

Pivot Green connects and celebrates people, businesses, and communities with stories and ideas to inspire restorative climate action and social justice. Pivot Green strongly believes that minor lifestyle changes can often blossom into major societal changes.

 

One of our primary goals is to support young Canadians working together with other generations on positive, impactful ideas and actions that help address climate anxiety and the climate change challenges of our times.To support this objective, Pivot Green, in partnership with the Small Change Fund, has created the Canadian Youth Climate Action Award.

​

In 2025, the award provides $7,500 and a plaque to the grand prize winner. Two second-place prizes of $3,500 each will also be awarded.  Additionally, eight $1,000 prizes will be given to projects of merit. 

 

Submissions should be for established projects only. Awards will be given to projects that best meet the Pivot Green mission and values. Our primary focus is to reward the efforts of young Canadians who, by working together with other generations, have brought forward impactful ideas and actions that address the key climate change challenges of our times.

​

The Award will be given to the program/project that best meets the following criteria:

  • Leads to concrete, impactful climate actions within communities

  • Is primarily a youth-led, local, regional or national initiative

  • Involves a range of ages in its outreach and activities

  • Has a positive environmental and social impact

  • Has the potential to be replicated in other Canadian communities

 

Donors will be issued tax receipts, and all financial matters will be administered by the Small Change Fund. Use this link to go to our donor page to support the Award.

​​

Award winners will be asked to provide Pivot Green with a short video, an update on their activities and provide news items suitable for posting on the Small Change, Pivot Green websites, and social media channels when available.
