The Alberta Native Friendship Centres Organization provides support and raises awareness of friendship centres in Alberta.

The Alberta Native Friendship Centres Organization (AFNCA) is a provincial organization dedicated to the promotion, maintenance, and coordination of friendship centres in Alberta. During the mid-1950s, several groups from reserves and Métis settlements migrated to urban centres and established local groups to represent the interests of Indigenous people. These groups became the first friendship centres. In the late 1960s, many of these groups started to form provincial organizations to better suit their needs and in 1970, Alberta friendship centres formed the first provincial association, the AFNCA. This organization continues to provide services to Albertan friendship centres, which provide culturally appropriate programming to local Indigenous communities.
