Cross-checked 3 of 4 key facts

Confirmed Our best read Not stated

Good to know

  • +Participants are paid: honoraria up to 200 dollars on two streams and a living stipend up to 480 on the extended stream, with lunch, bus tickets and borrowable rain gear provided so cost is not a barrier
  • +Eligibility is stated plainly and inclusively: youth aged 14 to 18 who identify as Indigenous, Black, People of Colour, 2SLGBTQIA+, living with a disability, or from other equity-denied communities
  • +Unusually honest accessibility information. EYA publishes the barriers rather than hiding them, including uneven ground, weather exposure, a composting toilet that is not wheelchair accessible, and group dynamics that can be chaotic and noisy
  • +Real, checkable organisation: a registered Canadian charity with a named programme manager, direct email and phone, fixed sites, published impact reports, and a paper application for anyone who cannot use the online form
  • +Participants get volunteer and community service hours plus a certificate, and learn alongside Elders and Knowledge Keepers

Worth checking yourself

  • !The closing date could not be confirmed on the organisation's own pages. This listing shows no deadline, which does not mean applications are open indefinitely. Check the official page before you plan around it.
  • !THE APPLY LINK ON THE RECORD IS DEAD. It points at the Spring 2026 form, whose title now literally reads 'Applications Closed', with every stream marked FULL and all dates passed. The live Fall 2026 form is a different URL. This is the single most important fix on this record
  • !No deadline is published, and the Rolling currently shown is not something EYA says. In practice applications close when the cohort fills, and places are tightly capped at 10 to 20 spots per stream. The Spring round filled and went to waitlist, so a reader should apply early
  • !Fall 2026 programmes begin 19 and 20 September 2026, which is under a month away
  • !Vancouver-only and strictly in person, with no remote option, which makes this irrelevant to most of LOT's audience
  • !Age-gated to 14 to 18 and restricted to equity-denied communities
  • !The honorarium is conditional: youth must attend a minimum of 4 programme days to receive one
