For three decades, AHC has partnered with newcomers, ethnocultural groups, and people from all walks of life to strengthen community connections and capacity. We work alongside individuals, grassroots leaders, and organizations across Alberta to create inclusive spaces, address the determinants of wellbeing, and foster lasting change.
We are a registered charitable organization under the Societies Act, and community support makes our work possible. Every contribution—whether time, skills, or resources—helps us grow programs that are grounded in partnership and powered by community action.
Active individuals and groups committed to using their skills, knowledge, culture and values to build a stronger and healthier society.
