Welcome

Informed, collaborative, effective and humane responses to the causes and consequences of crime

The John Howard Society of Grande Prairie began in 1979 and is a community based non-profit organization concerned with the causes and consequences of crime. We believe that crime is a community problem and therefore requires community solutions. We focus on crime prevention through social development which addresses the risk factors that contribute to crime.

A national organization, the John Howard Society has branches and offices in over 60 communities across Canada, including five communities in Alberta.
