I'm launching 3 mini-scholarships for Black youth in Toronto through yute.fyi. Applications close on March 10th! The idea behind this platform is to create a space for the community to crowdsource and engage with relevant opportunities for Black Youth in the GTA. Please consider helping by: - Spending a few minutes contributing a short career spotlight to the site. - Posting any relevant upcoming events, programs or scholarships to amplify their reach. (I'll add an admin dashboard soon to help visualize your impact.) - Signing up for the newsletter to stay on top of relevant opportunities you can share. - Sharing :) My top priority at the moment is sourcing more relevant opportunities ahead of March break. My DMs are open if you’d like to get involved!
