Jen, Co-Director (Youth Programs)
Jen comes to us as a former Associate Director of Religious Education at UCV in Vancouver. She is excited to help grow the opportunities and events for youth in our church community. A firm believer in living life in chapters, Jen’s past lives also include an educational documentary filmmaker; a founder of two community-integrated farms; a horticultural therapist, and community arts programmer. She loves growing food and flowers, sings whenever possible, and hopes to one day go back to being a mediocre-but-enthusiastic tap dancer. Jen is thrilled to serve a community which honours joy, interconnectedness, social justice and deep listening.

Our Program Volunteers
Are compassionate and enthusiastic. Many find that working with the children and youth here is a significant part of their spiritual practice. Some are parents; others are caring adults who enjoy the gift of children on a regular or occasional basis. Other adults prefer to offer background support the program, for example, by serving on the programming committee, or by making props for use in our program. We celebrate the range of skills and the many ways people contribute and find joy!
We always have room for more volunteers – it takes many hands to make light work.
