Study of the Graham Boeckh Foundation

Justification of research project

This is an exploratory research project led by PhiLab in collaboration with GBF resources. The team intends to produce a research paper focused on: (1) a portrait of the Foundation, from its founding to today. The portrait will present both an analytical and descriptive dimension focused on the Foundation’s activities; (2) A case study on one of the Foundation’s projects: Integrated Youth Services initiative in British-Colombia known as the Foundry model. We aim to define the project’s main characteristics: historic elements; description of the model; and the collaborations that took place between different actors within the project, including the province’s public legislator.
