Covenant House Vancouver 2022 Impact Wrap Up

Looking back on 2022 it was a year of change and growth for Covenant House Vancouver. They moved into a new 10-storey, purpose-built facility in downtown Vancouver, and their programs and services expanded.

At Covenant House Vancouver, young people are greeted without judgment — with unconditional love and with absolute respect — often for the first time in their lives. Community support makes it possible for their frontline staff to develop meaningful relationships built on trust with the youth who access their programs. They work to meet each young person’s unique needs by providing them with individualized programming, wraparound services, and relentless support.

Looking Towards 2023 With Hope

As you head into a new year remind yourself of all the good you have accomplished. What have you been able to overcome? How far are you from where you started? What are you most proud of?

Because of the incredible support from the community, the youth who come to Covenant House Vancouver can have the same reflections. They can look back and be proud of where they are today.

Because supporters, donors, volunteers, and staff believe in them the young people start to believe in themselves. And when they start to believe in themselves, their futures are limitless.
