Ginkgo Youth Association is a youth-led non-profit organization based in Vancouver, BC, where we believe in starting young and passing it on. We create meaningful volunteer experiences for children beginning in elementary school, empowering young people to develop compassion, leadership, confidence, and a lifelong spirit of giving back. Together, we inspire the next generation to make a positive impact in their communities.
We create a safe, supportive environment where young kids can learn responsibility, develop confidence, and discover their strengths through hands‑on experiences. Our programs encourage students to design and lead their own community initiatives, from supporting children and families to protecting animals, caring for the environment, and promoting kindness in everyday life.
By offering guidance, mentorship, and teamwork-based opportunities, we help young people grow into compassionate, capable, and active community leaders. We are committed to building a future where youth feel inspired, involved, and empowered to create positive change.
