Established in 1976, Churchill Research Centre, Inc., operating as the Churchill Northern Studies Centre (CNSC) is a registered Canadian charity (CRN 10096 61 75 RP0001). Members of the local community, university researchers and government officials founded the CNSC in 1976 to promote and support northern-based research and education. While supported in part by the Manitoba Department of Advanced Education, the CNSC is neither an extension of government nor a university-owned field station. The Centre is operated by a Board of Directors, an on site administrative staff and volunteers.

The Community Education Development Association (CEDA) is a non-profit inner city community development organization that was established in 1979. CEDA strives to meet the educational needs of our community, focusing on advocacy and programming that addresses the inadequacies of the education system in serving the members of our community. We recognize that these inadequacies exist within a larger context of social and economic inequality as well as both societal and institutionalized racism and we are committed to raising awareness of this context both within and beyond the community that we serve.

Volunteer Lethbridge was originally called the Lethbridge Volunteer Bureau when it began as a three-year, federally funded project through the YWCA in 1981. We became a registered society as an independent, not-for-profit agency in 1986 and was later renamed the Community Volunteer Center. We adopted our current name in 2000 and have been fortunate enough to be able to help countless individuals and organizations come together since our commencement. Our member agencies now top 100 and we offer a wide variety of programs and services to compliment our wonderfully diverse community. In October 2013, Volunteer Lethbridge announced a new partnership with the University of Lethbridge that saw us relocating our offices into the newly renovated Dr. James Foster Building in downtown Lethbridge.
