Transformation Storytelling Fellowship

The Transformation Storytelling Fellowship is an initiative under Community Foundations of Canada’s Transformation work. Its purpose is to mobilize young people to bring an equitable and intergenerational lens into storytelling, with the goal of enabling systems transformation.

The Fellowship is made possible thanks to the generous support of Canada Life, RBC Foundation, and Propel Impact.
