• Represents youth voices at a provincial level
• Implement province-wide initiatives to benefit Aboriginal youth
• Provide a network of communication in which youth can learn about other friendship centres, both provincially and nationally, and the Friendship centre movement as a whole.
• Encourage and support BC Friendship Centres to develop strong local youth councils.
• Act as a liaison between Friendship Centre youth councils, PAYC, and the BCAAFC Board of Directors.
