The John Howard Society of Alberta is a non-profit agency concerned with the problem of crime and its prevention. The organization takes its name and spirit from the 18th century humanitarian John Howard, whose name has become a symbol of humane consideration for prisoners. It was incorporated in 1949, and today the organization consists of six separately incorporated districts along with the Provincial Office. We believe that crime control is as much the responsibility of the community as it is of government. Through involvement with the John Howard Society, as members or volunteers, people in the community play an active role in the criminal justice process by providing programs for offenders and their families, ex-offenders, young persons and the public.

Kids in foster care often have amazing talents which need to be encouraged and developed. Each child comes with a unique set of life experiences, and so the plan for their development has to be based on understanding those needs. All too often they don't receive the same opportunities as kids who get to grow up with their bio-parent. Everyday life can present enormous difficulties for kids in foster care to overcome. They often feel like they don't belong, can't learn, and aren't successful. They are at risk of emotional disturbances, delayed social development and poor educational performance. SOS BC aspires to enrich the life of every child and family we get involved with. We want kids to navigate successfully through life, so we provide a host of activities and programs that we consider necessary for their positive development.
