About Us

At the Langley Youth Hub, any youth in our community will find acceptance and care under one roof:  medical care, substance misuse counselling and prevention programs, care from a family physician or nurse practitioner, mental health counselling, and family education and support programs are just the start.  The Hub will facilitate opportunities to meet the basic needs for our youth such as food, bus passes, showers, laundry, clothing, employment opportunities, and access to housing - all of which are imperative to increasing the overall well-being of youth.  The services and programs of the Hub are currently provided by a projected $250,000.00 of in-kind donations through partner organizations.

Our History

Youth today are struggling in ways we have not seen in the past; and in Langley, the services are just not there or accessible to those who need the help.  Youth travel for hours to find services like substance misuse counselling, clinical counselling, medical services, and support programs.  This inability to access the help and support they greatly need often deters them from seeking it out.  not only is there a lack of available resources, there is also an absence of a youth-driven space where the youth can engage in a positive and healthy way, and a place where they can feel respected, nurtured and empowered.

In 2014, Langley brought together a coalition of youth-serving organizations and advocates to address the health needs of youth in our community.  Together, we created the Langley Youth Hub.
