Driving Canada's business success by helping youth help themselves

The Canadian Youth Business Foundation is a national charitable organization that empowers aspiring young Canadian entrepreneurs, age 18-34, to start up their own business. CYBF' s three core services: start-up financing, mentoring, and learning resources are delivered in local communities across Canada through volunteer community partner organizations.

Founded in 1996 by the RBC Foundation and the CIBC, CYBF was created to address underemployment and unemployment concerns amongst youth in Canada. CYBF is modeled after the Prince's Trust program in the UK and is an accredited member of Youth Business International, a global network of 40 countries.
