Summary Parent Support Services Society of BC is a provincial non-profit that supports families and all those in a parenting role. Parent Support Services protects the safety and wellbeing of children and promotes the health of all families by partnering with those in a parenting role and their communities to build support, advocacy, education, research, and resources. Parent Support Services Society’s vision is a world where all children and their families are nurtured, valued, and safe. Further Information (If there is room available – some directories have a word limit) To realize this vision, Parent Support Services creates opportunities for parents and grandparents that foster independence and personal responsibility, and by creating cost-effective and comprehensive community based services in cooperation with public and private partners. The staff is dedicated to providing these services with respect, compassion, and accountability, and to championing the Canadian Charter of Rights and the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. Parent Support Services supports families and their rights in this way because they value inclusion, social justice, and collaboration. They believe that, when we work together and learn from each other, these values can transform conflict into understanding; that understanding can transform hurt-filled households into healthy homes; and that healthy families can transform unjust societies into strong communities. That is why, at Parent Support Services, the goal is to build healthy communities, one family at a time.

Earth Rangers is an environmental non-profit that empowers youth to take action for the environment. Our ER Teens program offers an opportunity for young Canadians aged 13-18 to take initiative for environmental causes they care about, such as wildlife conservation, climate change, sustainability, and more. By working remotely with staff, teens volunteer their time to complete an eco-action project of their choice; at home, at school, in their community, or online. Our flexible program ensures that teens can work at their own pace, while having the support and resources they need to make a positive impact.
