Caring for the physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual needs of vulnerable youth in Greater Vancouver.
Youth in Greater Vancouver struggle through many challenges and obstacles. Challenges like unstable home lives, systemic vulnerability, addiction, mental illness, poverty and even a rapidly changing technological landscape make the social, psychological and cognitive challenges of adolescence all the more difficult to navigate. Yet, we see the potential within each young person we meet. We are confident that with enough of the right support, they can overcome all of the challenges that life throws their way. Youth Unlimited has been helping young people discover their potential since 1947. With nine chapters in Greater Vancouver, YU provides caring relationships and developmental opportunities for vulnerable youth through relevant programs and individual connections, aimed at fostering mental, physical, social, spiritual and emotional well-being among young people in the community.
