Africa Centre programs endeavour to create opportunities for access and full participation of individuals and families from the African descent community in all aspects of society.
Our programs and services focus on enhancing protective factors, promoting education, re-establishing cultural identity, reducing high-risk behaviours, and increasing the circles of support, and enabling full participation in all aspects of life for individuals and families.
We deliver programs and services through community contributions of time, skills and resources by bringing community members and volunteers together for the benefit of building a thriving society.
