Strengthen Our Response Across All Programs
As the largest multi-service women-focussed organization in the City of Toronto, YWCA Toronto has an opportunity to demonstrate the importance and need for a strong continuum of services that strengthen the economic, housing, emotional and physical safety and security of women, girls and gender diverse people. As we scale deep for impact, each program area will be supported to take stock, innovate, and strengthen its delivery of responsive, relevant and game changing services.
Objectives
- Implement a program planning and evaluation framework to assess program inputs, outputs, outcomes and impact.
- Refine and re-align program models and organizational practices through evaluation and research to be a leader in best and promising practices.
- Intentionally and strategically assess, strengthen and nurture collaborations and partnerships that increase our ability to provide more comprehensive services, support participants to navigate service systems, create service innovation and where appropriate, expand programs.
- Strengthen our focus on Black, Indigenous, newcomer, marginalized and other vulnerable women, girls and gender diverse people.
- Bring our considerable programmatic
experience and expertise to public policy and cross-sectoral tables and seek to open up opportunities for greater collaboration with community and governmental partners, strengthening the capacity of others.
