Our Vision, Mission & Values

Founded in 1973 by a passionate group of immigrant volunteers who wanted to contribute back to Canada, S.U.C.C.E.S.S. has evolved into one of the largest social service agencies in Canada. We promote the well-being of all Canadians and newcomers through services and advocacy that support their integration into an inclusive society.

As a forward-thinking organization, S.U.C.C.E.S.S. leads the development of innovative programs, services, and best practices that address the evolving needs of our communities. Guided by our core values, our staff and volunteers work collaboratively to create positive community impacts.

Vision & Mission

For the last two years, we have been working with many internal and external stakeholders to refresh our vision and mission objectives so that it is better aligned to where we are as an agency, as well as to guide us in our future direction.

We are proud to share our new vision and mission statements:
