Learn how the ACLC's African Canadian Youth Justice Program serves African Canadian youth involved in the justice system while providing community supports.
The ACLC supports the National African Canadian Initiative on Full Participation and Capacity Building.
The African Canadian Legal Clinic believes in encouraging and building an active membership. An active membership is a resource pool for skills, talent, energy, volunteers, and financial support. Membership is also a way for the clinic to keep concerned and interested individuals in the community updated about its work and the issues facing the community.
The ACLC maintains five membership categories:
Individual membership in the ACLC is open to those who are at least fourteen years of age and who are normally resident in Ontario, and understand, affirm and support, in principle and in practice, the purpose and objectives of the clinic. Employees of the clinic and their spouses or partners are not eligible for membership.
Application for membership in the African Canadian Legal Clinic must be made in writing, using the Request for Membership form available at the ACLC office. Successful membership applications require the evaluation and approval of the ACLC board of directors.
