The after school program is a part of the African Canadian Association's mandate. The ubuntu kids club was formed to meet the needs of various children of African immigrants who need the necessary educational and emotional support.

Culture is a big part of the African Canadian Association. As a result, we have partnered with various diverse African groups, to bring the rich culture of Africans to Canadians. We sponsor several cultural events during the year.

The African Canadian association is involved with various community programs that include adult education, orientation, as well as job placement opportunities for those in the Kitchener Waterloo Region.
