Youth Workers/ Sector Open Call: Child & Youth Sector

The City is currently developing a sustainability plan for the Building Safer Communities Youth Violence Prevention Program, which invested $2.7M over three years in upstream youth services. The program reached more than 30,000 youth across the city, positively influencing young outcomes, strengthening the youth sector and enhancing the City’s ability to lead upstream community safety initiatives.

Following City Council’s direction to explore the program’s sustainability using existing resources and to adopt an overarching approach that considers how the City plans and delivers programs, designs amenities and engages children and youth in city planning and policy, we are convening a meeting to gather perspectives from Vancouver’s youth sector representatives. This session will provide an opportunity to exchange insights on current challenges and opportunities in the sector, including the City’s and community programs positions in promoting and supporting youth wellbeing.

Space is limited; RSVP using the link below to confirm your attendance by November 28th.We encourage you to share this invitation with colleagues who are committed to supporting youth and community safety.

We look forward to connecting with you and learning from your experience and perspective.
