Dear Friends and Supporters,
​
The Vancouver Youth Advocacy Society (VYAS) embodies the values of youth, action, service, and above all, community. Our goal is to provide young people in Vancouver with the resources and opportunities they need to get involved in their communities, make a positive impact, and develop important skills and experiences along the way.
​
At VYAS, we believe that youth have the power to create real change in the world. By working together, supporting each other, and staying committed to our goals, we can make a difference in our communities and beyond. Whether it's through volunteering, advocacy work, or simply spreading the word about the issues that matter most to us, we can make our voices heard and create a brighter future for all.
​
We are excited to work with young people from all backgrounds and experiences, and to provide them with the resources and support they need to succeed. From volunteering opportunities to workshops, mentorship programs, and more, we are committed to helping youth in Vancouver make a positive impact in their communities.
Thank you for your support, and we look forward to working with you to create a better world for all.
