Society Membership

Vancouver Aboriginal Child and Family Services Society (VACFSS) is a non-profit society providing service to urban Indigenous children and families living in the Greater Vancouver area. Our focus is on building a stronger community and better outcomes for the children and families we serve.

We are governed by a board of directors who are chosen by our society members. We offer a chance for members of the community to support our mission, vision, and mandate by joining our society. Membership with VACFSS is a means by which Indigenous people can exercise their right to improve their world and that of Indigenous children and families.
