Associate Organizations are those organizations that meet most of the criteria and admission requirements set by the Board of Directors, subscribe to the objectives of the Corporation, pay the membership dues, and are admitted by a resolution of the Board of Directors as an Associate Organization. Associate Organizations are not eligible to designate any person to be a director of the Corporation but may attend general forums of the Corporation and are entitled to designate one person to vote at Annual and Special Meetings of Members of the Corporation. Normally, travel cost reimbursement that would be paid to Full members will not be paid to Associate members.

Centre for Community-Engaged Justices
The Centre was founded by Dr. Vicki Chartrand in 2012 at the University of Ottawa, along with vital student volunteer efforts. The initiative was developed to support people in and out of prison by providing information and resources through print-based correspondences. This work equally benefitted our work as we learned from those with lived expertise in our correspondences.
Over space, we emerged as a community-engaged research centre to reflect the understanding that people involved in the criminal legal system have significant skills and knowledge to share in cultivating a collaborative and community vision of justice.

Youth Association for Academics, Athletics and Character Education (Y.A.A.A.C.E.)
YAAACE was founded in 2007 to mitigate the polarization north and south of Finch in the Jane and Finch community. The goal was to create access to opportunities that would meet the needs of the community and mitigate systemic inequities.
It was intended to bring youth from both sides of the community into a neutral space where they can access structured programs, learn, and grow together through culturally reflective services.
Since 2007, YAAACE has expanded extensively to offer a range of new programs and services in academics, athletics, character education, experiential learning, employment, and violence prevention and intervention.
