Community Development
Perhaps the most dynamic and ever-changing program area, projects allow us to focus on a specific issue or population-specific group. All our community projects rely on solid partnerships and meaningful collaborations, and are aimed at bringing people with first-hand experience together around a particular issue.

| BYLD brought diverse young people together to learn about group facilitation and dynamics, and develop a series of community engagement workshops. In its second year, BYLDers mentored a new group of youth to continue training and workshop development. |
|
The WELL Program recruited a diverse group of women to gain in-depth group facilitation skills and participate in ongoing group learning circles to continue sharing those skills beyond the initial training. |
Participants from both projects join PeerNetBC facilitators to deliver workshops across the province.
