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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tVolunteer\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n
