The series consists of the records of the provincial coordinator of the Young Voyageurs Program. The records relate to the participation of BC high school students in the federal government of Canada’s Young Voyageurs Program. This federal-provincial program started in the 1960s to provide an opportunity for groups of students to travel to another part of Canada. These records, documenting various student exchange trips from BC to other provinces between 1961-1976, were created and maintained by the Ministry of Education, Student Services Program. Records include subject files documenting the program’s administration and operation; program reports; student reaction sheets and reports of the Young Voyageur groups; and a card file listing all Young Voyageurs groups to participate in British Columbia’s program, the geographic area they represented, and the number of students that attended.

The series is arranged alphabetically and some files have an alpha-numeric file code. The records consist of correspondence, subject files, reports, bulletins and published material. The records were transferred to the BC Archives without a records schedule.
