The Gifted Children’s Association of BC aims to extend support in navigating the unique developmental journey of gifted children through advocacy, education and collaboration. Our mission is to extend support in navigating the unique developmental journey of gifted children through advocacy, education and collaboration. Our vision is a society that recognizes, values and responds to the diversity of giftedness.
Welcome!
Giftedness is a special need. It requires support. It requires peers to make gifted children feel that they belong and are not different than everyone else. Yet, knowledge and understanding of what giftedness is, how diversely it can express itself, and how it needs to be supported … is scarce and hard to find.
As we extend our reach in educating the public and connecting our community, we invite you to explore our current website to learn more about the Gifted Children’s Association of British Columbia (GCABC).
Members of the Gifted Children’s Association of BC receive a regular newsletter, access to the GCABC Member’s Corner, and reduced rates at all GCABC events. Your fees are put to work towards spreading awareness about giftedness across BC. Discover All Membership Benefits
