We're thrilled by the ongoing partnership between RBC and ISWO's Standing Bear program. This collaboration is a testament to our shared commitment to empowering Indigenous youth in Ontario.

RBC Future Launch: A Commitment to Youth

RBC Future Launch is a groundbreaking 10-year, $500 million initiative designed to prepare Canadian youth for the jobs of tomorrow. This program focuses on four key areas: networking, skills development, practical work experience, and mental wellbeing supports. By addressing these areas, RBC Future Launch aims to dismantle the barriers young people face today.

In 2020, RBC pledged to invest $50 million through RBC Future Launch by 2025. This investment is dedicated to creating transformative pathways to prosperity for up to 25,000 BIPOC youth. The focus is on skills development and mentoring, ensuring these young individuals have the tools and support they need to succeed.
