Becket is built with — not just for — the people it serves.
Our Guidance Council and Youth Advisory Council play a key role in shaping the direction of Becket across Newfoundland and Labrador. These groups provide ongoing insight, feedback, and lived experience that help ensure Becket’s programs and services truly reflect the communities they serve.
From policy development to hub design and programming, our advisors represent the diversity, creativity, and strength of youth and community leaders across the province. Their voices help ensure that Becket is not only responsive — but rooted in the real needs and values of Newfoundland and Labrador.
