About McMan Central

Genuine caring for each and every person who connects with McMan is how we make a difference.
From our local board of directors to our professional staff and our volunteers, we care about what
we do, we care about the people we serve, and we care about the society in which we live.

Who is McMan?

Since opening its first program in 1975 McMan Youth, Family and
Community Services Association set out to be different. While operating
its first group home, McMan’s founders provided care in the context of
supportive and understanding relationships. The home and everyone
in it was encouraged to live by the guiding values of trust, security,
giving and acceptance. Today, this framework still exists and is what
sets us apart. It is a winning combination to foster learning in a
positive environment and these conditions are ideal for people to
realize their potential, and also thrive.


Over the last five decades, McMan has grown and evolved into a
dynamic not-for-profit social service agency providing a comprehensive
range of programs across Alberta. Earning a sound reputation from
success stories and positive relationships, McMan has become well known
for being a responsive, highly competent and innovative partner in service
delivery. A diverse range of programs and services are accessible through local offices across Alberta to anyone who needs help. We believe that help from someone who cares should never be out of reach.
