Youth services at False Creek Community Centre is a partnership between the Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation and the False Creek Community Association.

The Youth Leader at False Creek Community Centre focuses on developing programs that reflects the principles of the CYD in City of Vancouver; accessible, collaborative, and inclusive. Youth are involved with volunteer opportunities, social activities and program planning in a respectful atmosphere where they are able to implement and work on their decision making skills.
