Education and Programs

Daytime and evening initiatives at NightShift in Surrey

We are continually expanding our Education mission to include new programs and support groups to meet emotional, spiritual and practical needs of people in our community. Our programs welcome people in off the street to take advantage of care services, our Resource Centre and so much more.

INSIDE PROGRAMS

Welcome Centre DROP-IN

Launched during COVID and building strongly ever since, we opened our doors for people in the community to come in during the daytime to connect, chat, access support and engage with NightShift volunteers and each other.

Welcome in: enjoy a snack, warm up over a cup of hot chocolate or grab a cool drink when the temperatures are rising, and make new connections over a game of chess, dabble in an art project or catch up with a friend.

  • DROP-IN days at the Welcome Centre are Mondays through Fridays (2-4 pm).
  • Art Class is back by popular demand on Fridays (5:30-6:30 pm).
  • Mobile Library hosted on the Third Tuesday (2-3:30 pm) during the summer.
  • Check back for our Highlight Events, such as Movie or Sports Nights, and our Selah Women’s Events that celebrate International Women’s Day with a little pampering.

RECOVERY

RE:ACT A 12-week Recovery Education for Addiction and Complex Trauma is hosted during weekdays. Contact us for information on the program.

On Purpose is a low barrier series of trauma-informed classes based on the core curriculum of RE:ACT. Drop-in sessions take place Mondays and Thursday (4:15-5:15 pm) to create awareness and to encourage participants to make small steps toward pursuing change in their lives.

ONE-ON-ONE SUPPORT

CHRISTIAN FAITH

Bible Study & Church Services

All of the services at NightShift are provided in the spirit of the Christian faith. Public worship and prayer is offered along with our evening outreach. In addition, we have been facilitating weekly bible study since 2012 and inside church services since the pandemic. Designed to bring hope and love to all people who feel life is overwhelming and hopeless, and share how they are loved unconditionally by God!

  • House of Grace lunch and Bible Study – Saturdays (11:15 am – 2 pm).

“You have all made such a difference in my life. Maggie has changed the way I do my art…. It is so much better now!  And, you just remembering my name, means so much. I am struggling through some big health concerns right now and this place means so much to me. The atmosphere is different here.” Jim
