Zero Ceiling is committed to ending youth homelessness in BC. For over twenty-five years, we’ve been helping young people facing homelessness have a healthy transition to adulthood. We provide stability, support, and opportunities so that young people can focus on personal growth. We believe every young person deserves the chance to become the best version of themselves.

Based in the unique mountain resort of Whistler, BC, we serve youth aged 16-27 from Metro Vancouver and the Sea to Sky Corridor. Our programs offer supportive housing, supportive employment, case management, life skills education, mental health supports, and outdoor recreation in a safe, supportive environment. We build strong relationships and support young people for as long as they need: just like a family.

JOIN US FOR APRÈS FOR CHANGE

Mark your calendars for Saturday, October 19, 2024, because we’re kicking off winter in style at Dusty’s Bar & BBQ with Après For Change.

Hosted by Canada’s Drag Race star, Gia Metric, it’s going to be a night of fabulous entertainment, epic tunes from DJ Foxy Moron, and fundraising for a cause that truly matters – supporting marginalized youth.

Come dressed in your best retro après gear and enjoy a complimentary drink, dinner, dancing, and more. Plus, you can take part in our raffle, Vines & Spirits wall, and exclusive live auction. And don’t forget – the silent auction opens on October 2 with amazing prizes up for grabs!

With newly secured housing to welcome even more youth into our Work 2 Live program, we’re aiming to raise $100,000 on this night alone, which will help us reach our year-end goal of $350,000.

TICKETS:

  • Early Bird: $95 + taxes & fees (while they last)
  • General Admission: $105 + taxes & fees

WHAT WE DO

 

Zero Ceiling’s programs are built on the latest evidence and over two decades’ of experience fighting youth homelessness in BC. We focus on providing individualized, flexible support and creating strong, supportive relationships that empower young people.

Work 2 Live is a supportive housing and employment program for young people aged 19-24 who are experiencing homelessness or unstable housing. We help participants gain the stability, skills, and support systems to have a healthy transition to adulthood.
The Adventure Sessions is an outdoor adventure day-camp for young people aged 16-24 experiencing or at risk of homelessness. We offer no-cost access to the mountains of Whistler, BC, for some of the most marginalized young people in our communities.

HOW TO HELP

We can’t end youth homelessness alone. Your support allows us to provide flexible, individualized services that empower young people to fully participate in our community. Our supporters change lives by donating, volunteering, and attending our community events. If you have a creative idea for how you can help Zero Ceiling end youth homelessness, reach out – we’d love to hear from you!
