USAY Sponsors
Only with the continued support and generosity of our sponsors has USAY been able to accomplish our mission, vision and mandate. Without the support of the following agencies USAY would not be able to assist Calgary’s urban Aboriginal youth who rely on our services. Thank you for your support to help USAY make the goals, dreams and aspirations of our members a reality.
Alberta Culture & Community Spirithttp://www.communityspiritprogram.ca
With the generous funding from the Alberta Government Culture & Community Spirit Grant USAY is able to support our local Aboriginal youth artists by hosting free professional Canvas Building Workshops. Participants learn the skills and knowledge required to build quality canvases on which they can later paint on and therefore enhance the Aboriginal youth presence in Calgary's arts scene.
Alberta Foundation for the Artshttp://www.affta.ab.ca
Generous funding from AFA has enabled USAY to run Performance Learning for Aboriginal Youth (PLAY). PLAY provides an opportunity for Aboriginal youth in Calgary to become engaged in theatre & the arts.
Alberta Lottery Fundhttp://www.albertalotteryfund.ca/
