Ben Arends

Ben came to YU in 2020 with a passion for writing, and quickly discovered another – telling the stories of our incredible team of youth workers and the youth they serve.

At YU, Ben has his hands in many behind the scenes tasks, helping bring everything from YU events to the website you’re currently reading this on to life! His favourite part of the job is getting to see just how transformational youth work can be for youth who just need someone to believe in them.

Outside of work, Ben loves spending time with his wife, Monica, being outdoors (especially while fishing or hiking), and, unfortunately, the Vancouver Canucks.

If you’re looking to meet up with someone for coffee to hear what YU is all about, Ben might just be your guy. Reach him at bena@youthunlimited.com
