Our goal is to support Somali individuals and families—especially newcomers, seniors, youth, and refugees—as they build their lives and futures in Canada.

We are a non-profit, Black-led association focused on serving Somali newcomers, families, youth, and seniors through inclusive, community-based programs. Our work includes refugee resettlement support, digital literacy, youth mentorship, senior engagement, cultural events, and advocacy. Everything we do is rooted in our language, culture, and values, with a strong commitment to dignity, connection, and opportunity. Since our founding, SPABC has continued to grow as a trusted community space where Somali Canadians can come together, share their experiences, and build a better future for the next generation.
