South Vancouver Neighbourhood House (SVNH) is a community-based organization that focuses on connecting people and strengthening the neighbourhoods in South Vancouver. Our mandate is to develop harmonious relationships among community groups of different cultural, economic, religious, and social backgrounds. Programs and services are determined by conditions within each community and by the needs and interests of the people living in that community. SVNH currently offers a variety of programs and services that support individuals and families, such as Seniors' Wellness, Youth Leadership, Licensed Preschool and Out-of-School Care, Parenting and Family Resource Programs, Settlement Services for Newcomers, Food Security, Literacy, Adult Day Programs, Community Engagement Events, and more. Each year, nearly 3,000 individuals participate in our programs, which are run in partnership with over 600 volunteers. South Vancouver Neighbourhood House has been a member of the Association of Neighbourhood Houses of BC since 1977. Located at Victoria Drive and 49th Avenue, SVNH serves the Sunset, Victoria-Fraserview, and Killarney-Champlain neighbourhoods.
