KAIROS local groups are made up of community-minded people with a passion for justice issues. Some have a specific focus, such as Aboriginal rights, climate change, anti-poverty funding and advocacy, and others. Other groups focus on a wider range of topics, including the annual education for action campaign.

All are welcome to join or form a group, regardless of background or interest-- all you need is a respect for diversity of opinions and background. For some basic information to get you started, download our Becoming KAIROS network handbook (PDF format) or have a look at these frequently asked questions (all PDF format) on campaigns; events; KAIROS local groups and regions.

If you don’t see your community here, it probably means that a group does not exist there—yet. If you would like information about starting a group, we would be delighted to give you a hand.

Listing of local groups: To protect local members’ privacy, we can’t list contact information for individual groups. To contact the group, please get in touch with the regional representative.
