Courage for Youth - The Big Picture

The challenge ... the teen years are more complex than they were just ten years ago. Youth are spending more time alone. Strong, extended families and neighborhoods are disappearing. Society lacks general agreement on core values. All of today's youth are at risk.

The solution ... to promote positive change in families, schools, and the community in order to create a safe social climate for children and families.

Our vision ... to create a community in which youth are physically, emotionally, and spiritually whole.

Our mission ... to build a network of supportive adults and older youth to help young people successfully navigate their questioning years.

Our target ... young people during their high risk, decision making years (primarily 12 - 15) and older youth and adults who directly support them. Our focus is the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia, in particular, in the city of Kelowna.
