Mission
The Refuge Community Centre offers access to resources, information and opportunity so that those who find themselves in difficult economic and social situations may move from need to sustainability. Strategy To provide holistic programs that address social, economic, physical, and spiritual concerns. This is accomplished through programs that offer: Access We attempt to connect people with needs to people with resources and vice-versa. We commit to walking each step of the way with our neighbors from identification of needs to access of resources. Information This is accomplished by providing communication, education and training through The Refuge Community Centre Literacy Programs, partner non-profit organizations, academic and vocational training institutions, medical institutions, private enterprise, social service/human resources agencies and government programs. Information focuses on empowering the individual to achieve stability and sustainability in four major areas: healthcare, housing (includes food, clothing, etc.), education and employment. This demands an ongoing process of networking and relationship building. Opportunity Access and information must lead to realized opportunity. Securing jobs with living wages, adequate health care, permanent housing and completed educational/training programs that lead to stable and sustained living is vital. This wholistic approach offers the best possible foundation for the transformation of at-risk communities into healthy and productive environments and deprived families and individuals into healthy and productive citizens.
