Community and Social Development
Community agencies are important players in efforts to create healthy communities and a balanced, just and prosperous society – we facilitate, support, spark, inform and provide spaces for people to come together, generate new ideas and take action.
Our involvement in community and social development includes:
 |
Providing information, support, and opportunities for people to make their ideas and voices heard |
|
Engaging residents in local planning and decision-making, for example our redevelopment planning process |
|
Fostering community and economic development with Market 707 |
|
Nurturing community leadership, particularly among youth as in our Project 1234 youth drug prevention program |
|
Investing in youth through scholarships and Leaders in Training programs |
|
Bringing together different sectors to share information, learn from one another, create shared visions and work together |
|
Linking local with global issues via programs and relationships with international communities |
