Connecting Youth to Programs Across BC
Harbourside Youth Foundation partners with facilities and organizations across British Columbia to help underserved youth access non-traditional sports and activities. If financial barriers are preventing participation, youth or families can apply for sponsorship support through HYF. Our goal is to remove barriers, build confidence, and help youth discover community through sport.
Are You a Facility or Program?
There is no cost to be listed as an HYF partner. If you work with youth and want to be included on this page, we’d love to hear from you.
You can also refer youth facing financial barriers directly to HYF — we handle the sponsorship process and payment on their behalf.
If you’d like an embedded application link for your own website, we can provide that too.
