Action for Healthy Communities

Action for Healthy Communities (AHC) is a registered non-profit organization that has been operating in the community since 1995. Action for Healthy Communities works with Edmontonians by supporting and empowering individuals and diverse groups to develop actions that improve their community's health and well-being. Our programs include: settlement & employment supports, English, Math and Computer training, children & youth programs, small business supports, a resource room facility, and volunteer opportunities. We support community projects led by members within communities to address self-identified health and wellness issues. AHC is not limited to support, mentoring, and training, our mission is a commitment to fostering individual and group participation and action to improve the comprehensive and holistic health of diverse communities. AHC further includes social, economic, and cultural determinants of health, such as food and nutrition, physical fitness, mental health, healthy environment, social networks, social integration, family environment, anti-violence, heritage and cultural recreation.
