Abbotsford Youth Commission

We are very grateful for the support of the Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce and are happy to be included with these amazing colleagues! Happy 12 days of Chambermas!

Our Team Lead Niki had the great opportunity to connect with other social service workers and volunteer with the Fraser Valley Gleaners today! These kinds of experiences are a part of our Youth Table initiative, a group of youth workers in Abbotsford that meet monthly to help maintain interagency connections and discuss how to best help the youth they’re serving. #youthwork #youthservice #socialservices #youthworker #abbotsford #abbotsfordbc #abbotsfordyouth

"This is a much needed program in Abbotsford," one parent writes. "My child would not be prospering socially without the AYC, and it has helped him get out of the house when he was really depressed, struggling to make friends, and in a vulnerable place." As we approach #GivingTuesday, hear how AYC has impacted the lives of youth in Abbotsford. Abbotsford Youth Commission appreciates the generous support of our our funders and our community. Consider donating today and join us to help be a light for youth in Abbotsford.
