The Young Ambassador Program (YAP) is a youth-led group founded by D2D President & Founder Arthur Chan and eight friends. YAP raises funds for BC Children’s Hospital Foundation.
Made up of members aged 3 to 21, YAP has achieved tremendous success since it was founded in 2010. Through fundraising and leadership development, members gain valuable skills in communication, team-building, and project management.
In 2025, YAP celebrated its 15th anniversary and $3M fundraising milestone. When this journey started fifteen years ago, the team had no idea how far it would take them. However, Arthur & his 8 friends believed in the power of youth leadership and the idea that young people could be agents of change in their communities.
Today, that belief has been validated in more ways than they could have imagined. Many of our members have gone on to attend top universities across Canada and North America.
