Common questions
Do I need experience to join? +
Not at all. Every pathway welcomes beginners. Youth Can is designed for young people at all levels — from total beginners to those looking to deepen existing skills.
Is there a cost to join? +
Information Days are always free. Program fees vary and flexible options are available — no young person should be held back by financial circumstances. Reach out to us directly and we'll find a way.
What if I'm not Asian Canadian? +
Youth Can welcomes young people from every background. While our roots are in Metro Vancouver's Asian Canadian community, our doors are open to anyone who wants to grow, connect, and belong.
Can I join more than one pathway? +
Yes. Many of our participants explore multiple pathways over time. We even run cross-pillar projects that blend skills from different areas — like a sports documentary or an entrepreneurial arts event.
👨‍👩‍👧 For Parents & Families

A space that honours
where your family comes from.

We understand that choosing the right environment for your child means more than finding a good program. It means finding a community that understands your values, speaks your language, and sees your child fully — not just as a student, but as a whole person shaped by a rich and meaningful heritage.

Youth Can is built with families in mind. We offer multilingual communication, regular family events, and a team of mentors and coaches who reflect the diversity of our community.

  1. 1
    Attend a Family Information Session Meet the team, learn about our five pathways, and ask every question you have — in the languages your family speaks.
  2. 2
    Bring your child to Information Day A free session where young people explore all five pathways and find what excites them most.
  3. 3
    Stay connected We keep families informed and involved every step of the way — in the languages you're most comfortable with.
