Encouraging and empowering children and youth

BGC News

BGC Canada has over 22 national programs that address many of the serious problems that face Canada’s young people, including:

childhood obesity/inactivity
child safety
poverty & hunger
bullying
low self-esteem & self-image
academic failure and school drop-out
youth crime and marginalization

Tailoring our programs to address the specific concerns of communities across Canada, BGC help children and youth explore their interests, develop life-changing strengths, and realize positive outcomes in self-expression, academics, healthy living, physical activity, and more. Visit our national programs page to learn more.

BGC Canada acknowledges that our work spans many Territories and Treaty areas and we are grateful for the traditional Knowledge Keepers and Elders who are with us today, those who have gone before us and the youth that continuously inspire us in the work that we do. BGC Canada’s mission statement is to provide safe, supportive places where children and youth can experience new opportunities, overcome barriers, build positive relationships, and develop confidence and skills for life. We recognize that these values are impossible to attain without the ongoing guidance and partnership with Indigenous peoples.
