The BC AAFC is guided by six Elders that offer support and advice to the centres. The organization is run by seven voting officers including a President, a Vice-President, Secretary, Treasurer, Youth Representative and seven Directors.
The BC AAFC consists of 25 friendship centres across British Columbia. But the initial movement began across the country in the 1950s. It was specifically designed as a support network for Indigenous peoples new to an urban setting. They offered advice on matters of employment, housing, education, health and liaison with other community organizations.
