Send us your Thoughts on Youth Services in Langley
Langley community partners have put forward an application for a Foundry BC site here in Langley, to further build on the services that are offered throughout the community and at the Langley Youth Hub.
Langley has many strengths in working to meet the needs of our youth and families. Our youth have a strong voice, community partners work to fill gaps in services when identified, and we continue to evolve as our community's needs change. But there are limitations to the services we are able to provide.
We are looking for support from our partners, community, youth and families in providing feedback for our community to continue to look at how we can improve services and the ease of access to them for youth and their families.
Please send us your feedback by taking our survey. Your input is greatly appreciated!!
We will be collecting survey entries from now until February 12th, 2020

Encompass has been invited by Foundry BC to move forwards into Step 2 of their Decision Process! This step is the Convening phase with Foundry. Convening means people coming together from different experiences, in order to work together. As we have in the past, we are excited to work through this step with input from the community we support.
With feedback from youth, partners and care-giving adults, we were able to develop the Langley Youth Hub. With community partners working to expand their services, or move them to a shared space, we are now able to provide youth with access to multiple services such as:
As a community of partners we understand this model is not perfect. We are always working towards learning how to better structure our services across the community and at the Langley Youth Hub. We know there are limitations and gaps in the services provided, especially in the following:
We hope to continue building upon these services for the youth and families in our community, we value your input!

- Access to basic needs for free (food, clothing, laundry and showers)
- Primary Care
- Counselling
- Substance misuse and harm-reduction supports
- Housing outreach
- Resource Navigation services
- Indigenous specific resources
- LGBTQ2+S supports and access to primary care
- Social, Recreation and Arts supports and exploration
- Employment support
As a community of partners we understand this model is not perfect. We are always working towards learning how to better structure our services across the community and at the Langley Youth Hub. We know there are limitations and gaps in the services provided, especially in the following:
- Limited hours and accessibility to some services
- Access to youth specific primary care and wellness supports
- Transportation issues across Langley
- Wait-lists for some programs
We hope to continue building upon these services for the youth and families in our community, we value your input!
