We have completed two solid weeks of presenting to schools, community groups and various social service networks. The schedule was tough but with a very successful and well planned presentation, our travelling road show succeeded beyond our expectations. Our youth researchers were real troupers and we had a lot of fun. Jasmine and Rabina, our two OISE students (on coop assignment with us) provided invaluable support and rounded out our presentation team. To my left is Meghan, Zach, Nick, Jasmine, Marina (sitting) and Rabina. Unfortunately, Emma had to go to a meeting and missed this great lunch we enjoyed after a dynamic presentation to the Homelessness Alliance of York Region.

The Social Non Profit – My Lens

A social non profit is attuned, responsive and adaptive to the complex factors affecting its constituents and communities. In a social non profit there is an alignment between staff, services, governance systems and online communications. Social non profits value learning and innovation and believe in working smarter by using social tech tools to enhance communication, collaboration and learning amongst staff, volunteers, partners and service users. These organizations believe that strategic use of social media empowers staff, improves services and strengthens governance practices.
