The Coalition of African Communities' (AFRICOM) vision is to build a strong and inclusive African and Caribbean immigrant and refugee community with all the nationalities. 

AFRICOM’s mission is to advocate and organize so that immigrants and refugees feel a sense of empowerment, belonging, and self-sufficiency.

AFRICOM seeks to achieve this mission by: 

  • facilitating family access to health and social services, with a focus on women,  children and the youth;
  • promoting economic development;
  • facilitating the resolution of inter and intra-group conflicts;
  • advocating on issues of concern to African communities; 
  • educating the media and the broader public on African cultures and experiences.
