About Surrey Youth
Our Story
Surrey Youth began with the simple yet profound belief that every young person holds immense potential. Recognizing the "mine rich in gems" within each individual, we established a not-for-profit, community-driven organization dedicated to nurturing that potential. Our journey is one of creating carefully designed educational programs, tailored to children and junior youth, to empower them with essential life skills and a strong sense of purpose. We understand that education, in its truest sense, extends beyond academics; it is the process of illuminating the inherent capabilities of each young person. Through this journey, older youth play a pivotal role, serving as mentors and program leaders, enriching their own personal and intellectual development while contributing to the growth of others.
Our Values
At the heart of Surrey Youth’s work lies the conviction that education must encompass both intellectual and spiritual development. Our programs cultivate virtues such as honesty, compassion, and justice, alongside critical thinking and problem-solving skills. We strive to create a learning environment where young people understand the interconnectedness of knowledge and character. We believe in the power of collaboration and consultation, encouraging youth to actively participate in shaping their communities. By fostering a sense of unity and purpose, we aim to equip young people to lead coherent and meaningful lives, contributing to the betterment of society as a whole.
Our Impact
Surrey Youth’s impact extends beyond individual development, creating a ripple effect of positive social transformation. We empower young people to become active protagonists of change, fostering a vibrant community where youth, families, and residents collaborate to build a thriving future. Through opportunities for leadership and community engagement, we connect individuals with the broader society, encouraging collaborative action. Our programs are designed to inspire young people to realize their potential as agents of positive change, contributing to a just and peaceful world. By nurturing a sense of belonging and shared purpose, we are creating a legacy of empowered youth who are committed to the well-being of their communities.
