Gone Fishing!

We've gone fishing! Well, maybe not actual fishing, but this year YPSN will be closed for the month of August to allow for staff vacation time! If you need emergency assistance in the meantime, please contact the Vancouver Crisis Line at 1-888-494-3888 or the KUU US Crisis Line at 1 800 588 8717 for Indigenous Elders, Adults and Youth. We will be back in September, well rested and refreshed, and ready to offer some great programs and one to one support! We look forward to seeing you again in September!

New Sí:le Fund created to support YPSN!

YPSN is excited to be featured in the new edition of the Victoria Foundation's PULSE magazine!

We are so grateful to Patrick Kelly and Carey Newman for supporting YPSN through the creation of the Sí:le Fund at the Victoria Foundation. Sí:le, which is the Halq’eméylem word for "grandmother” and “grandfather,” is a fund established as a legacy to the community in support of young parents, and one that ensures the conversation includes Indigenous voices.

THANK YOU on behalf of the entire YPSN Community! To contribute to the fund, follow this link https://www.canadahelps.org/en/dn/m/15332/donation and be sure to indicate Sí:le Fund in the message to Victoria Foundation!
