About Us
The Victoria Youth Clinic was started in 1998 as a non-profit organization and became the lead agency for Foundry Victoria in 2017. Our mission is to provide integrated and comprehensive health care services, including mental health and addiction care for youth aged 12 to 24 years. We have grown to a big team of dedicated and skilled youth-focused professionals that includes doctors, nurses, counselors, outreach workers, peer support workers, and administrative staff while serving as a community hub for youth care programs with Island Health.

Grateful to live, work and gather together
The Victoria Youth Clinic Society – Foundry Victoria is grateful to live, work, and gather on the lands of the Lək̓ʷəŋən and W̱SÁNEĆ peoples, specifically the stolen traditional territories of the T’Sou-ke, Scia’new (Beecher Bay), Xwsepsum (Esquimalt), Songhees, SȾÁUTW̱ (Tsawout), W̱JOȽEȽP (Tsartlip), W̱SIKEM (Tseycum), BOḰEĆEN (Pauquachin), and MÁLEXEȽ (Malahat).
We honour Métis, Inuit, First Nations, and all Indigenous peoples whose stewardship of Turtle Island has protected the earth, water, and sky, as well as the health and wellbeing practices that have sustained us, and we seek to be good ancestors in our work.
As an organization, we commit to reconciliation, decolonizing our health care practices, and Indigenous youth-led health solutions that support current and future generations.
