Youth Helping Youth BC is one of the 7 branches of Youth Helping Youth (YHY), a registered non-profit organization that aims to promote youth development and success through virtually marketed opportunities to youth and creating youth-centric opportunities on social media platforms such as Instagram.

Before COVID-19, YHY hosted various in-person events, including university panels, workshops, fundraisers, and fairs. Currently, in the midst of the pandemic, YHY BC has hosted online university panels, game nights for our Discord members, and other youthoriented events. Unlike other non-profit organizations, YHY is run entirely by youth volunteers who dedicate themselves to helping other youth in their communities by connecting them to opportunities and other diverse like-minded youth.

We strive to positively impact our communities and recognize that the youth today are our future generation of doctors, engineers, scientists, academics and change makers. We hope that our efforts make a difference in the lives we touch.
