I.AM.Youth

Innovative Aspiring Motivated Youths

I.A.M. YOUTH is a youth-led initiative designed to support BIPOC and newcomer youth in Surrey, BC. Grounded in strength-based and trauma-informed practices, the program instills hope, confidence, and life skills tailored to the realities youth face today.

Embracing the principle of “Nothing about us, without us,” we ensure that youth voices shape every aspect of our work. Through consistent mentorship, guidance, and safe spaces, we help young people thrive and stay on positive paths. Espoir Society uses data-informed approaches and community feedback to create relevant, responsive programming. Our staff and volunteers support youth with tutoring, resume building, job applications, and certifications like First Aid and Food Safe.

In partnership with schools, grassroots organizations, and local services, we expand opportunities and reduce risk, helping youth feel seen, supported, and prepared for success in life and beyond high school.

It is statistically proven that to prevent delinquency in youth; it’s important for them to have a place they know they can go to and feel safe, have proper role models, food to eat, and have a sense of belonging.
