Our Services

The Landing is proud to provide a variety of services for youth, families, and community partners.

The core of our work is to establish equitable opportunities, provide resources and support our community. Our services extend through our four pillars: Spaces, Programs, Food Security and Grants & Gifts.

Spaces

The Landing Youth Centre is an inclusive space for youth and community partners.

We have designed a centre where young people can gather, connect , learn, and grow in a supportive environment. We hope that the time spent in our space will build community and strengthen lifelong friendships.

Community is central to all of our programs, with a goal of providing youth with a network of support to help them thrive.

Food Security

1 in 6 children in BC live in households that experience household food insecurity.

Household food insecurity affects people's physical, social, and mental health, which are critical in the formative teen years. The cost of nutritious and adequate groceries is often unrealistic for vulnerable families. 

At the Landing Youth Centre we know that a teen cannot reach their full potential when they are worrying about their next meal. We strive to lessen the burden of our youth and their families so that they can reach their full potential. Through rescued food, community partnerships, and a village of supporters we are able to tackle food security in our community.

Our Values in Action: We partner with the community to provide food security!

  • Hot nutritious meals at all programs

  • Healthy snacks for all program participants

  • Grocery gift cards to support our families 

  • Holiday meals  

Grants & Gifts

By listening attentively and responding thoughtfully to community needs, we can contribute to building a stronger, more cohesive community where youth feel heard, valued, and empowered.

Through grant/gift programs such as our wrap-around program, alumni scholarships, emergency family grants, and our holiday hampers, we provide opportunities for our families and youth to express their needs. We do our best to meet these needs whenever possible. 

Our Values In Action: We listen to the needs of our community and respond!

  • Alumni Support

  • Emergency Support

  • Holiday Hampers
