North Shore Youth Volunteer Directory
The North Shore Youth Volunteer Directory is a valuable resource for young people interested in volunteering within the community, particularly on the North Shore. The directory provides useful information regarding volunteer opportunities for youth between the ages of 12 and 19 years old.
The City works closely with the District of North Vancouver in determining and implementing policies and programs for youth on the North Shore. This collaboration is the best use of resources and allows the City to fill in gaps in services. Studies and consultations have revealed a variety of youth needs and interests in North Vancouver, from safe places to hang out with friends to clinical services.
While the needs and interests of pre-teens, youth, and young adults differ, the ultimate goal for the City remains the same: to promote an environment free from violence, abuse, discrimination and inequality, which supports the growth and development of youth to be successful, independent and valued citizens.
