The Fraser Valley Youth Society (FVYS) is a not for profit society located in the Fraser Valley since 2000. We have been providing opportunities for personal growth and leadership through our workshops, programs and community connections since 2000. We have gone from a group of volunteers running a weekly LGBTQ2+ drop-in group in Abbotsford to a board, staff and dedicated volunteers running weekly drop-in groups in Abbotsford, Mission and Chilliwack.

Our main focus is to support LGBTQ2S+ and Allied youth in the Fraser Valley. We want to connect them to their peers, their communities and to provide supportive & inclusive help where needed. We operate a weekly drop-in (Abbotsford, Mission and Chilliwack) to connect youth and young adults to a healthy and vibrant LGBTQ2+ and allied community, as well as, other special events and programs throughout the year. We also provide Education and Awareness Programming such as: community based events, local advocacy and staff and youth led LGBTQ2S+ presentations.
