ABOUT ACCOCA

The ACCoCA sees the value in everyone.

​

We want to be a catalyst for positive change. Since our beginnings on June 8, 2022, we’ve been driven by the same ideas we initially founded our Non-Profit Organization upon support, empowerment and progress.

Dealing with the challenges of today requires problem-solvers who bring different perspectives and are willing to take risks. The ACCoCA seeks to inspire and support the community and wants actions to speak louder than words.

VISION STATEMENT:

Socially cohesive and prosperous cultural diaspora within central Alberta.

 

MISSION STATEMENT:

Enhancing the quality of life for all Central Albertans with support to the African, Caribbean and descent community members by:

• Assessing and responding to community needs creates awareness and social cohesion through services that transfer and exchange cultural knowledge.

• Providing needed services throughout the lifespan, such as peer support, senior support, cultural education, legal, health, financial, career services, youth outreach and programming, early intervention and child support, and services for enhancing women’s health and equity are working collaboratively and cooperatively with existing and future benefits, such as refugee and immigrant services.
