Introducing Foundry Works!

This week, in celebration of national Mental Health Week, the BC Government and Future Skills Centre & CAMH announced their support of Foundry Works! This new supported program will provide flexible, wrap-around services to help youth who are currently not in education, employment or training to succeed in school, find a job and meet their own personal goals. At Foundry, we believe all young people should have access to meaningful education and employment opportunities. Through this program, Foundry will support young people by coordinating and aligning their health, wellness and education/employment goals.

Beginning this summer, Foundry Works! will be available in the following Foundry centres: Abbotsford, Kelowna, North Shore, Prince George, Ridge Meadows, Terrace, Vancouver-Granville, Victoria, Richmond, Campbell River and Penticton. In addition, young people will be able to access Foundry Works! virtually through the Foundry BC app.
