Benefits of Membership
We build the capacity of community-focused organizations by developing and delivering resources, education, and professional services. Our work empowers people to guide their organization with confidence and clarity.
Our community members are working hard to make Calgary and its surrounding areas great places to live, work and play. Most of our member organizations are run by volunteers – a collective network made up of over 20,000 citizens. Check out what we do to support our members below!
