About Covenant House Vancouver:

Since 1997, Covenant House Vancouver has provided relentless support for youth experiencing, or at-risk of experiencing, homelessness.

We provide support to young people age 16 to 24 who have experienced a wide range of early life and ongoing, complex trauma; including physical, sexual and emotional abuse and neglect.

Our purpose is to serve all youth, with absolute respect and unconditional love, to help youth experiencing homelessness, and provide a safe and supportive environment for all youth in need.


The Impact A Clinical Counsellor With Our Case Management Department Can Make:

As a Clinical Counsellor in our Foundations Program, you will provide client care to youth exhibiting mental health issues within at Covenant House Vancouver.

The VCH Program is a residential stabilization program where we work with the principles of immediacy, sanctuary, value communication, structure, and choice.

You will demonstrate absolute respect and unconditional love to youth that will support them to know their worth.


The VCH Program is a safe and non-judgmental environment where youth are supported to address every aspect of wellbeing - health, emotional, and spiritual.

You will provide services from an attachment-based, harm reduction, culturally relevant, trauma-informed model of care.

You will have the opportunity to build transformative relationship with youth and reduce the risks of street homelessness and substance use.

Through relentless engagement, the CHV continuum of care connects with youth where they are at because we feel it should be "one size fits one" when it comes to supporting young people.
