The participant may also wish to canvas organizations in which he or she has a specific interest. 2.Secondly, the Region of Waterloo has Community Participation Workers that work with agencies within the community interested in a placement. The Community Participation Workers match participants to available placements. Here are some of ideas for your organization. A local service club may be involved in providing funding for and the building of a community centre.
OW participants can assist in the construction phase.
A social service agency may have plans to offer a new service to the community and needs assistance in planning, fundraising and implementation. Here's a chance for participants to give a kick-start to the plans. A local Church, Synagogue or Temple may want to bring in one of the participants to assist or start a food bank or thrift shop. It also gave me a chance to get back into a work routine and be around other people in a work setting. I feel it is a very good program.
