Our Story
The Vancouver Basketball Foundation™ provides no-cost, inclusive, and year round services to help offset the many inequalities facing low income families and at-risk youth. We strive to reduce barriers, increase opportunities and addresses holistic development in the lives of our participants through sport and play.
Our organization offers interconnected programs, camps, leagues and events for youth to develop their physical, mental and social health. We also provide employment and work experience opportunities through our junior coach development pathway.
Growing the Game
Our Mission Statement
We believe every child deserves the power of sport – so we remove the cost, but never the impact, unlocking confidence, connection and purpose that builds futures for Vancouver’s youth and their families.

Our Pillars
At the Vancouver Basketball Foundation™ sport is just the beginning. Our work is built on three pillars that guide everything we do. From the first step onto the court to the impact carried far beyond it. We believe in access without exception, support that lasts, and play that builds more than just athletes.
