Founded in 2010 by Arthur Chan and eight friends, the Young Ambassador Program raises funds for BC Children’s Hospital Foundation while empowering young people to grow through service, teamwork, and leadership.
In 2025, YAP marked its 15th anniversary and surpassed $3 million raised — a powerful reflection of what young people can achieve when they lead with purpose, belief, and heart.
Our mission is to inspire young people to lead with compassion, serve with purpose, and use their gifts to create meaningful change in the lives of others.
