Welcome to CoreBC - an exciting new initiative of the Federation of Community Social Services of BC. The purpose of CoreBC is to establish a hub of knowledge generation and distribution that will assist child, family and community service practice through engaging continual processes of research, inquiry, learning, application and reflection.
CoreBC’s vision is to strengthen the community based social services sector through the development and distribution of practical research and learning about children, youth and families in British Columbia and the promotion of new and innovative practices.

- Seek partnerships with government, research institutions, foundations and post secondary institutions in the development of new research;
- Develop and/or coordinate the development of child and family research that is practical and has a practice enhancement focus;
