Wolseley Family Place is non-profit organization that provides numerous supports for families with children under 6 years of age. Wolseley Family Place has been serving the Winnipeg community for nearly 25 years. Wolseley Family Place has phenomenal values, and their programs and services are designed to facilitate the growth of individuals and families. Main avenues of facilitating growth are providing education and supports in diverse forms – which are both accommodating and intersectional.
The project consists of researching all components of the organization — from researching current and past programming, demographics serviced, as well as current methods of support. Aside from research I will be developing my technological skills, as well as interview skills. I will also collaborate with staff and the Health Education Coordinator to create a plan for documenting summer programming at Wolseley Family Place in an ethical and engaging way.
As previously stated, the project proposed will create opportunities that will impact the community as whole. The project will help the organization secure grant funding, which will benefit Winnipeg. There will always be a need for supports provided by Wolseley Family Place, and with greater funding the reach of their services will be wider.
