DreamNow: Collaborative Web Plan

http://www.NeighbourhoodOne.org

This initiative has successfully provided an online network for youth-led organizations to connect with each other and the young people they serve, even after their initiatives have been completed.

Through focus groups, presentations and several neighbourhood meetings, the initiative has reached 55 organizations and has 143 youth members. Youth can visit NeighbourhoodOne.org to gain access to all kinds of information about programs, services and resources available at organizations across the 13 priority neighbourhoods.

Youth members from across the city are able to share ideas and connect with each other as well as various non-profit organizations. The initiative has responded to the need for collaboration and enhanced communication in the youth social services sector.

Using modern technology the initiative has created a cohesive and relevant tool for community dialogue.  The initiative will continue to support collaboration and effective communication as a lead partner with the YCF Legacy Social Enterprise Centre of Excellence initiative.
