About the organization

The General Child and Family Services Authority (GCFSA) is a provincial body in Alberta, Canada, responsible for overseeing child intervention and family support services. While not an arts organization per se, its affiliated Children's Aid Foundation of Canada administers scholarships for youth with lived experience in the child welfare system, including those pursuing post-secondary education in the arts and humanities. The foundation's ethos is rooted in empowerment and resilience, aiming to reduce barriers for marginalized young people. Its core mission is to provide financial assistance and mentorship to help these youth achieve their educational and career aspirations, fostering a sense of belonging and community.
