Programs Built by Community, for Community
Since 1985, CCACH has designed every program from the ground up — rooted in the real needs, strengths, and aspirations of African and Caribbean communities in Edmonton.
From AfroQuiz (running strong for 32+ years) to Saturday tutoring, mentorship, and arts & heritage programming, each initiative is intentionally built to help young people and families thrive academically, culturally, and personally.
Our approach combines culturally responsive education with hands-on support — career development, identity-affirming learning, and creative spaces that celebrate Black excellence. Every program reflects the voices and lived experiences of the communities we serve.
