About CREAN

Coastal Research, Education, and Advocacy Network (formerly Vancouver Island Public Interest Research Group) empowers vulnerable youth through research, education, and advocacy.

Our community-based research informs our services, with the intention of deepening connections and improving the lives of youth, families, and their communities. We work closely with residents and community leaders to advocate, both locally and nationally, on behalf of youth to make our city a better place to live.
