My name is Faith, (she/her) and I identify as a q***r cis-woman. I am a 3rd year Social Work student at VIU and feel very lucky to be doing my practicum at AVI. When I am not busy at school, I love to spend my time near the ocean with my dogs and partner or taking care of my garden and indoor plants.

I'm looking forward to learning more about harm reduction, collaboratively working with service users and AVI staff, and connecting and building trusting relationships with community members. Thanks for taking the time to read about me!

I’m Randy (he/him), a 4th year BSW practicum student from the University of Victoria. I was born in Winnipeg but moved to Alert Bay when I was 13, so Vancouver Island has always been home. I’ve got a degree in Child & Youth Care, am of mixed Indigenous ancestry (Ojibwe, Cree and Métis), q***r and have lived experience with problematic substance use.

My goal at AVI is to learn more about harm reduction, how to better support the community and meet people where they are at. I love crocheting, being out in nature, swimming and hiking. I’m looking forward to making connections and getting to know the community.
