The Transit for Teens Youth Leadership Coalition is renewing the call for free transit for all youth up to age 18 in BC with an Earth Day rally at the Premier’s Office, 2909 W. Broadway, today, April 22 from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. Come join us to celebrate transit, Transit for Teens, and our vision for a sustainable, equitable transit future for all youth.

We are holding a spring cohort of our parental mental health support for survivors program which is now called Healing Forward. Are you a parent or caregiver survivor of family violence who is navigating BC's family law system? If so, please join us for healing, strategies, and community support in your journey.

The Centre for Family Equity is hiring a full-time Racial Equity Coordinator and a part-time Indigenous Engagement Coordinator to lead our new K-12 Without Racism: Families Lead the Way project. Are you the talent we are seeking? Find out more.

On Boxing Day, 2024, The Vancouver Sun published a feature article on lone mother poverty in BC titled, 'Poor but tough: How single mothers in B.C. are fighting for economic stability', by journalist Lori Culbert, featuring the CFE's Lone Mothers' Economic Inclusion project and its community-based leaders.

The CFE has partnered with Bakau Consulting to design and launch our Anti-Racism Peer-to-Peer Trainer Training program pilot this spring. 

Impact opportunity: apply to join our Racial Equity and Disability Justice Advisory Committees to impact and expand the work of the CFE!

Are you a parent or caregiver impacted by low income and lack of access to mental health support as you navigate parenting and life after surviving family violence? Our Parental Mental Health Support for Survivors program is going strong and we are happy to announce that we are now accepting intake applications for the cohort starting in January 2025.

Join us online for six full months of healing, learning, and support alongside other survivors.
