AMARC, the World Association of Community Radio Broadcasters, is the international non-governmental organisation for the promotion, support and development of community radio world-wide. The international headquarters is located in Montreal, Canada following the founding Assembly held in 1988.

AMARC-Europe is the European regional section of AMARC grouping together radios and their national federations from 40 European countries, a network of 1500 community broadcasting services. The headquarters of AMARC-Europe were established in Sheffield, UK following the first AMARC Pan-European Conference of Community Radio Broadcasters held in Ljubljana, Slovenia, in 1994, which also adopted the Community Radio Charter for Europe.

The principal activities of AMARC-Europe are policy, research and advocacy; training and exchange of personnel; programme exchange and co-productions; solidarity and co-operation between East, Central and Western Europe and with community radio broadcasters in other regions of the world.
