ABOUT US
Since its creation in 1989, the Conseil jeunesse francophone de la Colombie-Britannique (CJFCB has held the ‘BY and FOR youth’ as a foundational principle. As a non-profit and charitable organization, it is today considered a major stakeholder in all things related to French-speaking youth in British Columbia.
Our mission
For 35 years, the CJFCB has been promoting, developing and representing the interests of French-speaking youth in British Columbia and helping to achieve its full potential through the organization of various cultural, educational and community-oriented initiatives for youth aged 14 to 25.
Our goals
Ensure that our members can have fun in French, meet new people, connect with other youth and stakeholders in the community and ensure that Franco-Columbian youth continue to thrive every day!
Our strategic plan
Following the implementation of its 2019–2024 strategic plan, the CJFCB is continuing to pursue its goals and dreaming even bigger! Our 2025–2028 strategic plan was developed to help us achieve our vision: to be recognized, by 2028, as an inclusive, intersectional, and key organization addressing issues related to French-speaking youth in British Columbia.
Designed BY and FOR young people, this plan is based on three main pillars that guide our daily decisions and actions:
- Equitable access
- A diverse and inclusive Francophone community
- Community leadership
