Implementing Strategies for Community Engagement and Development

The work by the interns will help Oak Table to revamp and improve services delivered through several programs, improve communication, improve outreach, assist with the food preparation and assist with recovering from Covid-19 pandemic. These projects will assist Oak Table in recruiting additional volunteers and strengthening organizational capacity, specifically in regards to recreational, educational, and cultural programming needs as they move forward from the pandemic. These projects center around community building and engagement, and will help Oak Table to better fulfill its mission of providing support, hospitality, and advocacy in a safe and respectful community. This project will also run for 5 years. Each subsequent intern in 2024 and on will continue to build on the existing work to date and continue to support Oak Table by aiding in service delivery, improving service delivery and helping Oak Table continue to recover from Covid-19 and the significant volunteer loss.
