Who can be a member of ALIGN?

ALIGN Association of Community Services welcomes individuals, organizations, associations, and corporations with a commitment to enhancing the well-being of children, youth, and families.

Membership is open to service providers, agencies, and organizations delivering services in areas such as early intervention and prevention, child and family intervention, Family Support for Children with Disabilities (FSCD) services, kinship and foster care, youth and transitional support, mental health and wellness, Indigenous and culturally responsive services, residential and group care, and community-based and wraparound supports. 

Organizations directly providing services aligned with ALIGN’s mission and values qualify for voting membership, while individuals, associations, corporations with social responsibility initiatives, and supporting organizations that champion advocacy, best practices, and sector leadership are eligible for non-voting membership.

Every membership comes with valuable benefits, including access to sector resources, networking opportunities, advocacy support, and professional development. All members play a vital role in strengthening the sector and are expected to uphold ALIGN’s principles of inclusivity, ethical service delivery, and collaboration.
