PARENT COMMITTEE
WHO WE ARE
A group of parents who wish to reinforce Our Place in support of families and children through involvement, input, feedback and suggestions that reflect participants’ voices. Our Place Parent Committee is a great way to connect with other parents/caregivers and to be involved in making Our Place, your place.
WHAT WE DO
Our group of Parents and/or Caregivers join together and meet monthly to:
• Build the “Our Place Village” to support the community atmosphere of engaging and welcoming families;
• Lend their voice on ideas and activities within the centre; i.e. fundraising events/activities and special events;
• Give back to Our Place by providing their helping hands and special talents in many ways to support the philanthropic ideas and activities of the OUR PLACE PARENT COMMITTEE;
• Spread the conversation among other families and growing the Our Place voice in the KW community; and
• Provide opportunity for OP staff to inform participants on initiatives, programs etc. and provide feedback and suggestions when needed
WHY GET INVOLVED
• Be involved in activities that support the centre through fundraising initiatives, special events and when requested - act in an advisory capacity when feedback is needed;
• Stay informed about Our Place activities and initiatives;
• Connect with other parents who have a common bond of wishing to help Our Place in a variety of ways;
• Look for solutions orientated problem solving for resolving centre issues/addressing family’s needs; and
• Create a community atmosphere – where people know each other and feel welcomed and provide opportunities for people to contribute
