Founded in September 2017, the BC Children and Youth Connection Society (BC-Youth) provides a wide range of free programs and volunteer opportunities for children and youth. Our mission is to create an affordable, inclusive, and equitable learning environment that empowers children to build confidence and achieve future success.
In addition to local programs, we actively engage in global initiatives such as the International Youth Forum, promoting cross-cultural learning and collaboration among young leaders worldwide.
Led by passionate youth and adult volunteers, the organization offers a welcoming space for students to learn, grow, and thrive.
Over the years, we have received the support of more than 220 volunteers from nine cities across British Columbia, contributing over 14,170 volunteer hours. Our programs have benefited over 3,000 students from Canada, the USA, China, and Singapore, delivering over 150 classes designed as safe and engaging learning spaces.
Free Learning Programs
BC Children and Youth Connection Society has expanded from our original 3 programs in science, English, and math to 9 programs including French, Mandarin, art, coding, creative writing, and tutoring, providing opportunities to a diverse and inclusive student body.
International Youth Forum
In recent years, we have hosted International Youth Forums with participants and audience members from Canada, the USA, China, and Singapore, providing a platform for them to share their passions, perspectives, and solutions on global issues.
