Helping people draw upon their inner strengths to address life's challenges and create a better life.
This is perhaps the simplest way to describe what Aspen is all about. It sums up our unique approach and philosophy of
providing valuable social services to Calgary and area: services primarily centred on serving children, youth, families
and communities in need.
We are proud to celebrate our 25th anniversary. Visit our special anniversary section to see what we have planned for this incredible year.
All Kids Have Dreams is an in depth study of the experience of immigrant youth in Calgary, specifically the Greater Forest Lawn area. This initiative is part of Aspen’s Youth Matters Multicultural Project and sheds light on the dreams, needs and desires of Calgary’s immigrant youth.
The information for the book is gleaned from interviews with 39 immigrant youth of a variety of different ages and ethnic backgrounds to provide a comprehensive account of the triumphs, experiences and obstacles they face every day.
The conclusions drawn by Taylor and her contributors will enable organizations and professionals to better meet the needs of this growing population and help ease the transition process for future immigrants to Calgary and Canada as a whole.
