The JCCABC Youth Empowerment Program supports young people as they learn, grow, and build the confidence needed to thrive in British Columbia and beyond. Our goal is to create opportunities that strengthen leadership, cultural pride, academic success, and personal development for Jamaican-Canadian youth.
Through scholarship, mentorship, workshops, creative activities, and community-building experiences, we help youth unlock their potential, stay connected to their culture, and gain the skills they need to succeed in school, in careers, and in life.
Our youth programs emphasize leadership, life skills, education, creativity, and community connection — helping young people build confidence and discover their strengths.
Youth connect with experienced professionals who offer real-world advice, encouragement, and guidance to help shape their future paths.
Hands-on workshops teach valuable skills — from communication and financial literacy to leadership and teamwork — empowering youth to take charge of their future.
Our empowerment model involves connection, growth, and leadership — helping youth thrive at every stage.
We welcome youth into a safe, fun, and supportive environment where they can connect with peers and mentors.
Through tailored programs, youth gain leadership skills, confidence, academic support, and cultural awareness.
Youth are encouraged to take initiative, lead projects, volunteer, and become positive role models in the community.
