ABOUT CENTRAL VANCOUVER COALITION:

As part of Washington’s Community Prevention and Wellness Initiative (CPWI), the Central Vancouver Coalition was established to strengthen community connection and support families in Central Vancouver by bringing together community members to support the health, wellness, and safety of youth and families through collaboration and shared leadership.

Anyone can be part of the Central Vancouver Coalition—no organizational affiliation required. Parents, grandparents, youth, and other community members who are curious or want to get involved are invited to connect with others, share experiences, grow as leaders, and be part of meaningful community change.  No prior experience is needed, and participation can be flexible to fit your schedule.  Every voice matters, and there’s a place for you here.
