Company Description

PLEA is an accredited, not-for-profit, charitable community services agency that has operated throughout BC for more than 30 years.

We deliver high quality, innovative services to children, youth, adults and families facing significant challenges in their lives.

We continually adapt our programs to suit each individual’s diverse strengths, needs and circumstances. As a result we have a strong reputation for helping those we serve to overcome the challenges they face and lead fulfilling lives in their communities.

We started by providing youth in-need with a one-to-one worker and, where necessary, a safe, healthy family home.

Today we continue to use this model to deliver programs and services that range from preventive – providing mentors to help children and youth make good choices under challenging circumstances – to intensive – providing specialized residential care to youth and adults with unique, complex needs.

We have more than 150 employees, 120 family caregivers and 230 volunteers. The number of lives we directly touch every year is counted in the thousands.
