Giving back to the community is an important aspect of being part of the CYP program. Four times per year, the CYP team organizes community outreach initiatives that are meant to address an issue important to the Greater Vancouver region. Volunteering in a CYP Community Outreach Initiative is also a great way to connect with other Members in a more casual environment and learn about the great work local non-profit/charities are doing in the neighbourhood.
Some of CYP’s past initiatives include:
- Variety Show of Hearts telethon
- Thank-a-thon with Covenant House
- Belkin House food preparation and serving
- Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup
- Tree planting for Earth Day (and Tree Week) for the Champlain Heights Community Association at Everett Crowley Park
- Greater Vancouver Food Bank donation sorting
- Blood Drive with Canadian Blood Services
Fundraising ($10,867 raised for various causes from 2013 – 2016)
