DIVERSEcity Community Resources Society is a non-profit organization based in Surrey, British Columbia, that supports newcomers and other diverse communities in building a life in Canada. It provides free, multilingual programs and services across settlement, language, employment, community engagement and mental health, offering information, skills and connections to help participants navigate their journey toward belonging. The organization also operates social enterprises—DIVERSEcity Interpretation and Translation Services, DIVERSEcity Skills Training Centre, and a Language Testing Centre—that extend its reach and support its core work. Its principal audience comprises newcomers and diverse residents who face language barriers and settlement challenges as they pursue opportunities and community participation. As a long-established charity with more than four decades of history, it serves the Lower Mainland within the non-profit sector. Recent developments include collaborations to support youth leadership and environmental civic engagement, notably the Youth for People and the Planet program with NatureKids BC and CityHive.
