Funding for student employment

Do you employ young people during the summer months or throughout the year?  Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada has some funding available to pay their salaries!  The Green Farms Stream funds internships for youth 30 years old or younger, including high school students to work on farms to support environmentally beneficial management activities. These internships can last up to 12 months and must be completed by March 31, 2019.

You could receive up to a maximum of $10,000 per intern under the Green Farms Stream.  More details can be found here: http://www.agr.gc.ca/eng/programs-and-services/list-of-programs-and-services/agricultural-youth-green-jobs-initiative/green-farms-stream/?id=1459879871410
