Outreach

We assess and provide direct Community Outreach services and Information to people in the South Okanagan.

We assist people in communities from Osoyoos to north of Summerland, east to Rock Creek and west to Princeton, also known as the South Okanagan/Similkameen and Boundary country.

Not only that, our outreach workers are also on the front lines in our community. They continue to advocate for the needs of our clients through their participation in community events. Furthermore, they collaborate with other community-minded organizations to assist our community.

We have advocates visiting the following locations:

Tuesdays:
Fairhaven 2:30pm – 5pm
Foundry Penticton 3pm – 5pm

Wednesdays:
Summerland 9:00am – 11:00am

Thursdays:
Compass Court 10am – 2pm

Fridays: 
Burdock 10am – 1pm

In conclusion, the Access Centre connects people in our community with the support, services and resources they need to move their lives forward.
