Mission Statement
PoCoMo Youth Services Society, now known as Access Youth Outreach Services Society, aims to provide outreach support and services to at-risk youth in the community. Their mission is to enhance the quality of life for youth who are marginalized, isolated, or at risk of homelessness by building strong connections with them and supporting their personal growth and development. The organization focuses on fostering relationships, promoting community belonging, and offering essential resources and support when and how young people need them.

Geographic Focus
The organization primarily serves youth in the Tri-Cities area of British Columbia, specifically Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, and Port Moody. After expanding its programs, Access Youth Outreach Services Society now offers some services in communities outside of the Tri-Cities, but its core work remains rooted in these local areas. There is no mention of national or international program reach; the group’s efforts are focused on local youth within these Canadian cities.

Program Highlights
Access Youth Outreach Services Society delivers a range of innovative programs and services for youth ages 12 to 23 who may be disadvantaged, marginalized, or at risk. Key initiatives include outreach support for street-involved youth, providing food security resources, and helping young people connect with their families and community. The agency is known for pioneering “streetwork” and is committed to improving safety, promoting healthy development, and creating opportunities for youth engagement in the Tri-Cities area.
