Faces of FCSS
Across Alberta, incredible people are working in FCSS programs—each contributing their expertise, compassion and care to strengthen communities. Yet in our shared mission, many of us never cross paths. We are so pleased to be introducing some of the Faces of FCSS and bridging the gap—one story at a time.
Interested in participating?
What we’re asking for from anyone who is interested in participating is to provide a photo you would like to share – either in FCSS work or personal hobby – along with your title, a few points on your role and what you do within the FCSS world. To personalize it, we would like everyone to answer at least one (but as many as they’d like) of the following questions:
- How has your life experiences helped in your role?
- Why did you get involved in FCSS?
- What have you learned in your role with FCSS?

FCSSAA
The Family and Community Support Services Association of Alberta (FCSSAA) was founded in 1981, as a member-driven organization dedicated to bringing Family and Community Support Services (FCSS) programs from across the province together. We provide the platform for our member programs to connect and collaborate, so they can maximize resources and speak with an informed, credible, unified voice to all stakeholders.
