Language Partners BC is a volunteer-run umbrella organization supporting one-to-one language exchange programs in Vancouver. We bring together adults from different language backgrounds and provide infrastructure for them to learn languages together and build relationships. Many of the English learners are new immigrants or refugees, and our programs are focused on supporting these newcomers in conversation and settlement.

<em>The Mount Pleasant Community Centre Association is a non-profit organization that operates two licensed child care facilities.  We offer programs for children from 3 months to 12 years old which include all day care, preschool and out of school care..</em>

<em> </em>

<em>The MPCCA is dedicated to supporting families in our community. We value the uniqueness of individual families and their backgrounds that enrich our programs. We recognize that each child and their family have different needs, interests and expectations. Our goal is to build partnerships with families and neighborhood organizations to support children to grow to be healthy, caring and competent adults. We support families by providing programs, information and resources to assist them in their role as parents/guardians.</em>

We envision an active, relevant and supportive network that empowers youth across Canada to become responsible and driven leaders who are at the forefront of making a social difference.

The NSN strives to fulfill its vision by fostering social engagement and personal growth of youth. Our approach is multifaceted and includes the following:

- To offer a comprehensive database of scholarships, volunteering and leadership work, and opportunities in the sciences, humanities, and business.
- To empower youth through mentorship unique to their individual interests and needs
- To provide an interactive and supportive community for youth to share thoughts, offer advice and engage in discussions.

ONE TO ONE is a unique children’s literacy program that provides one-to- one tutoring to elementary school students who struggle with reading. Our trained volunteers work with students in schools during school hours. These students are identified by their teachers as needing a boost in their literacy skills. The program is aimed at the grey-area students, those who do not receive any other resource support directly from the schools (i.e. no designated learning issues) but are not yet reading at grade level and often receive little or no literacy support at home.

ONE TO ONE provides these children with an opportunity to practice their reading in an environment where it is okay to take risks, make mistakes, and learn at their own pace. It is our goal to bring these students up to reading at their appropriate grade level, providing them an opportunity for academic success and hope for a brighter future.

We’re a free literacy tutoring program backed by a mission to help children develop lifelong literacy skills. ONE TO ONE’s program is free to all parents and schools and is available to any elementary school student whose teacher believes they need a reading-skills boost. Each student meets two to four times a week with a ONE TO ONE volunteer tutor. For 30 minutes at a time, they read in an environment where it is okay to take risks, make mistakes, and learn at their own pace.

Pacific Community Resources Society (PCRS) is a long-standing, award-winning not-for-profit that serves the most vulnerable people in the Province of B.C. We believe that helping the most marginalized individuals and families will raise the health and well-being of the communities we serve. Our vision is to see everyone thriving in strong, healthy communities, and our mission is to inspire healthy and inclusive communities through leadership and collaboration. We value advocacy, diversity and inclusion, empowerment, service excellence, stewardship, and well-being. We take care of our people who take care of the people we serve.

The Pathways to Education program takes a holistic approach to address the challenges students face. There are four components to the Pathways to Education program, which are tutoring, mentoring, immediate financial supports, and one-on-one support. We look to support each student broadly through the 4 supports and at the same time, shift the way we work with each student based on their individual needs. We support students with challenges they face individually, at school, and in the community by working together with the families, the schools, and other community-based organizations.

We are a grassroots member-led non-profit, and we offer free or by donation yoga classes and a subsidized Yoga Teacher Training. We believe that yoga and every healing modality must be available to everyone. Period.

Plastic Oceans Foundation Canada, a Federally Incorporated NFP, and Canadian Registered Charity, is a Plastic Awareness Coalition, utilizing the power of film and other media to educate Canadians to “rethink plastic” and inspire behavioral change. Working in collaboration with like-minded organisations across Canada we are combining efforts to solve a global problem through local action.
We aim to educate Canadians to become plastic literate, so they can make informed decisions about how and when they accept plastic and challenge society’s perception that this indestructible substance can be treated as ‘disposable’.
We must solve the problem within a generation.
Our Charitable Purposes:
To promote the conservation and protection of the natural aquatic environment in Canada (and the world) for the benefit of the public by educating the public on the dangers of plastic waste by:
producing and distributing educational films, videos, documents, and other informative materials and resources; and
presenting lectures, workshops, seminars and group discussions.
To carry out activities ancillary and incidental to the above charitable purposes
