As a volunteer Advisory Committee of Vancouver Foundation, we mix knowledge, networks and philanthropy —(the giving of time, talent and money). Our goals are to ensure youth play a meaningful role in creating Vancouver ‘hoods, schools and communities that are better places and spaces for youth.

Basically, we’re youth helping youth helping youth.

We are all about empowering young people in Vancouver to take action on issues of common concern by supporting programs which: encourage youth growth and dignity, inclusiveness, fairness and equality; promote youth voice; and that increase opportunities for youth participation.

We make grants. We build connections. We share knowledge. We find change so you can make It.

YPC grants are made possible by generous donors who established endowment funds at Vancouver Foundation, and designed to address youth issues and concerns. If you would like to provide financial support to projects funded by the YPC or to help grow these endowment funds, please contact Mark Gifford at Vancouver Foundation.
