iAM Programs are open to anyone who is interested. However, priority will be given to equity-deserving youth.

Equity-deserving youth identify as having barriers to equal access, opportunities, and resources due to disadvantages and discrimination. This includes: 

  • Black and racialized people

  • People with disabilities

  • Indigenous (First Nations, Inuit, and Métis)

  • Lesbian, Gay, Bi-Sexual, Trans, Queer, and 2-Spirit (LGBTQ2S+)
