GoalDixie Bloor Neighbourhood Centre's (DBNC) mission is to foster an atmosphere which will encourage our community as a whole to participate in and develop a positive, healthy and caring neighbourhood. We are a leading, proactive, community inspired agency with stable resources. We meet the diverse and changing needs of our individual and family members through community leadership, empowerment, partnerships, development and participation. Staff, volunteers, and neighbours work together to identify and discuss issues and concerns, develop and provide services and programs to meet the needs of the community, and promote community participation.An ongoing, important program that continues to enjoy great success is DBNC's EMPLOYMENT MENTORSHIP of NEWCOMERS, YOUTH, and in fact anyone who needs reintegration into the labour force, in terms of avenues towards local employment (a 'role' and part of our overall employment services). Your valuable contribution can provide the difference for someone who is seeking to get established in the local community, or re-enter the labour force. During COVID-19, the Friday sessions will be virtual (conducted online), and DBNC will make available to volunteer mentors our Microsoft Teams' platform, so that interactive presentations can be made as our way of having this important program continue uninterrupted. |
