You’ve Gotta Have Friends

You’ve Gotta Have Friends is a grass roots initiative that aims to involve all citizens in creating a welcoming community where everyone belongs.

Loneliness and isolation are a recognized health concerns and remain critical issues for many people.  You’ve Gotta Have Friends wants to break down barriers that keep people from experiencing a rich and rewarding life by:

• Intentionally noticing and raising up the gifts and capacities of individuals and community groups
• Acting as a catalyst for every citizen to engage in new ways of building relationships
• Empowering positive change and inspiring action towards an inclusive community
• Helping people find socially valued roles in community
• Participating in events that raise awareness of the importance of belonging
• Convening conversations that matter

We believe community belongs to the people and it takes every citizen to create strong and welcoming neighbourhoods.  You’ve Gotta Have Friends brings people together in a variety of ways to share their experiences and to create connections.

Our Vision:   Langley is a welcoming community where everyone embraces a sense of belonging, cares for each other, connects through friendship and has fun.
