About us

 

Our mission

Founded in 1991, the HCCS is a registered, not for profit, charitable organization whose aim is to provide programs designed to improve the quality of life and enhance opportunities for Hungarian speaking residents in the Greater Toronto Area. We offer social, educational, cultural and outreach programs and services.

The HCCS consults with various Hungarian and Canadian service providers to plan, develop and implement services and programs to meet the needs of its targeted population.

The overall management of HCCS is overseen by a volunteer Board of Directors. The day-to-day functioning of the organization is managed by part time staff and volunteers.
