La version française suit.

Eva's Initiatives’ Award for Innovation Begins Its Fourth Year. 

Three Awards of $5000 each will go to organizations working with homeless
youth.

As part of their National Initiative Program, Eva's Initiatives has launched
the fourth season of the Award for Innovation with generous support from
CIBC. The purpose of the award is to recognize the incredible work being
done by organizations across Canada in assisting homeless youth. 

Based on experience developing and managing Eva's Phoenix, the staff and
Board at Eva's Initiatives know that awards and citations draw attention to
innovative programs and can assist greatly in building partnerships and
securing funding. Each community has different needs and different
approaches to meeting those needs, but one common fact remains - virtually
all communities across Canada, large and small, are struggling to provide
effective support to help homeless youth become self-sufficient.

The Award for Innovation will be granted to three organizations that:

*        Demonstrate innovation in delivering services to homeless youth;

*        Successfully use partnerships to develop, implement or operate
services;

*        Deliver services that help youth who are homeless or at risk of
becoming homeless to achieve greater self-sufficiency and reduce their
chances of experiencing homelessness in the future;

*        Offer services that integrate two or more of the following:
housing, education, vocational training, employment, health and addictions
supports, life skills, or other interventions aimed at assisting homeless
and at-risk youth to become self-sufficient.

Deadline for applications: November 7, 2008 at 9 pm EST.

Applications are now available online at http://www.evasinitiatives.com

Quatrième année des prix Eva's pour l’innovation

Trois prix de 5 000 $ chacun seront attribués aux organismes qui s’occupent
de jeunes sans abri

Dans le cadre de son programme d’initiative nationale et grâce au généreux
appui de CIBC, Eva's Initiatives lance sa quatrième saison des Prix
Innovation qui visent à reconnaître l’incroyable travail accompli par les
organismes à l’échelle du Canada pour venir en aide aux jeunes sans abri.  

Forts de leur expérience dans la conception et la gestion 

d’Eva's Phoenix, le personnel et le conseil d’administration d’Eva's
Initiatives sont conscients que les prix et les témoignages mettent en
lumière les programmes novateurs et peuvent aider grandement à établir des
partenariats et à assurer le financement. Chaque communauté a des besoins
différents et adopte différentes approches pour y répondre, mais un fait
demeure – pratiquement toutes les communautés, petites ou grandes, partout
au Canada, luttent pour offrir un soutien efficace qui aidera les jeunes à
devenir autonomes.

Les Prix Innovation récompenseront trois organismes qui :

*         Font preuve d’innovation dans la prestation de services aux jeunes
sans abri;

*         Ont recours à des partenariats féconds pour concevoir, mettre sur
pied et assurer des services;

*         Assurent la prestation de services qui aident de jeunes sans abri
ou susceptibles de le devenir à acquérir une plus grande autonomie et à
diminuer leurs chances de connaître l’itinérance dans le futur;

*        Offrent des services qui intègrent deux ou plus des domaines
suivants : logement, éducation, formation professionnelle, emploi, soutien
en santé et toxicomanie, dynamique de la vie ou toute autre intervention
visant à aider les jeunes sans abri ou à risque de le devenir à acquérir
leur autonomie.

Date limite pour les inscriptions : 7 novembre 2008 à 21 heures (HNE).

Les formules d’inscription seront disponibles en ligne à l’adresse :
