Membership

Our membership is made up of community agencies from all across BC. Members enjoy the benefits of shared resources, collaborative efforts, public policy advocacy, and access to current information and provincial decision makers. We also offer members comprehensive health, liability and insurance packages.

Membership Categories

Full (voting) members include agencies that provide direct services to children, youth, adults and families in British Columbia. The membership year is from April 1 to March 31. Dues are based on member agency's total operating budget (one-tenth of 1% of the total agency budget). Minimum dues are $250.00 and maximum is $3,500.00 dollars.

Associate (non-voting) members include local, provincial, national and international organizations that support the goals of the federation (e.g. BC Foster Parents Association and UVic School of Child and Youth Care). Associate membership dues are $200.00 annually.

Honorary (non-voting) members include individuals and teams that have made an outstanding contribution to the Federation or the field either over time or through a focused project or initiative. Recipients of our Award for Excellence are also awarded an honorary membership.
