HISTORY
Inner Hope Youth Ministries (IHYM) was launched in 2007 by Carla Dickinson and Jenny Shantz who had been doing youth work in East Vancouver for over ten years.
During that time youth began turning up on their doorstep, and between 2001-2007 they provided short or long term housing to 16 children and youth. Inner Hope was established in order to expand their capacity to meet the housing need for youth at-risk as well as more effectively supporting community youth and past residents.
