Empowering
Empowering Alberta’s newcomer serving agencies together. As a leading non-profit, AAISA (Alberta Association of Immigrant Serving Agencies) represents and strengthens agencies that deliver vital services to newcomers in Alberta.
AAISA is a member-based non-profit organization active since 1980. AAISA is a regionally and nationally recognized leader in the settlement and integration sector. As an umbrella organization, AAISA represents over 70 immigrant serving agencies and organizations that work with newcomers across the province.
AAISA began as a platform to unite Alberta’s settlement sector and bring a greater recognition to the importance of the professional supports needed to settle newcomers. AAISA’s primary goals are to represent the voice of the Alberta settlement and integration sector to members of government, act as a knowledge hub (i.e. professional development and other activities), conduct pertinent research, and engage members and non-members through various methods to support newcomers’ settlement and integration in Alberta.
Facilitate collaboration and leadership within the settlement serving sector.
An inclusive, welcoming, and engaged society
