The Jane/Finch Centre (JFC) is a multi-service, community-based organization with a strong focus on poverty reduction through resident engagement, capacity building and anti-oppression. We have a long history of innovation and response to community needs and priorities. For over 40 years, the organization has been strategically building the health and well-being of Jane and Finch in collaboration with residents, community leaders, community groups, organizations and partners from within the local community and beyond. 

Our Mission: The Jane/Finch Centre is a community-based organization driven by passion, innovation and a strong commitment to social justice, community engagement and collaboration.

Our Model: We are a neighbourhood agency that focuses on localized issues facing residents within Black Creek/Jane-Finch. We offer various programs and services to residents that are created in direct response to community needs and priorities. As community needs shift, we adapt. Our programs, services, projects and advocacy initiatives are developed through on-going community analysis, resident engagement and collaboration. 

Our programs and services run out of 5 satellite locations in the Jane-Finch community, and provide social supports to community residents as a solution to the existing systemic inequities and lack of social services offered in the area. Our goal through our service delivery and advocacy work is to foster a healthy Jane-Finch community by strengthening and building the capacity of our residents.
