The Kamloops & District Elizabeth Fry Society is an active community based non-profit agency that offers programs and services in the areas of housing and community justice to people in the Kamloops area, with a focus on women and youth. Established in 1974, our goal is to provide effective programs, services and public education to contribute in building a healthy and safe community by minimizing barriers that individuals may experience, by meeting the diverse needs of marginalized people in the community, and by fostering the individual's personal growth and self sufficiency. Our focus is to provide services to people who are, or could be, in conflict with the law, who have housing related needs, and who are at risk of marginalization. The society provides education, advocacy, capacity building and safe, secure & affordable housing. We believe in the worth of individuals and work to improve the lives and circumstances of those who access our programs and services.
