Community Sector Summit Working Together: Accelerating Growth October 27th - 29th, 2019 Delta St. John’s Hotel and Conference Centre Community Sector Summit Working Together: Accelerating Growth Message from the Premier Welcome to the Community Sector Summit. The Way Forward with Community and this summit captures the importance that my government places on its relationship with community organizations. We appreciate your never-ending commitment, energy, and drive to making your communities the best possible places to live and work. Socially and economically, you are at the front line for delivering valuable programs and services to residents and making vast contributions to the provincial economy. Through this summit and implementation of The Way Forward with Community, we can learn from one another and acquire a greater understanding of our perspectives and priorities which will help us strengthen your deep roots in Newfoundland and Labrador. Together, we can make the community sector an optimal sector to work and improve outcomes that benefit citizens and businesses. Hon. Dwight Ball Premier October 27th - 29th, 2019 Delta St. John’s Hotel and Conference Centre 1 Message from Penelope Rowe CEO, Community Sector Council Newfoundland and Labrador The co-created Work Plan to Advance the Social and Economic Contribution of Community Organizations in Newfoundland and Labrador is a pivotal point in our development. It signals a joint commitment to collaboration in guiding our future. Nonprofit groups with their leaders, staff and volunteers, are on the ground everyday providing important services, advocating for change, creating jobs, innovating and accelerating social and economic growth. Every day we each benefit from their extraordinary contributions which span all facets of our daily life: trails, culture, heritage, social and health services, recreation, sports, housing and poverty relief. They form cooperatives and social enterprises, generate revenue and create jobs. They are the backbone of our province. In fact, the community sector is absolutely central to economic and social progress. This Community Sector Summit is a renewed starting point to move us forward to strengthen regional and provincial networks, to find ways to work collectively with public and private sectors, to enhance skills for sound governance and good management. The Community Sector Council of Newfoundland and Labrador looks forward to working together to accelerate growth. Penelope M. Rowe, CM 2 Community Sector Summit Working Together: Accelerating Growth Community Sector Working Committee Many people have been involved in promoting and advancing the impact of nonprofit organizations. Almost ten years ago at a Forum, New Thinking for the Next Decade, Community Sector Council NL announced the creation of a province-wide Community Sector Working Committee and called for individuals who would focus on big picture issues important to advancing the profile and climate for the community sector as a whole. The committee, augmented through a call for Expressions of Interest, placed heavy focus on policy and advocacy and connecting with leaders especially with the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador. Its briefings and interactions have led to numerous important initiatives. In 2018, the Premier on behalf of GNL along with the Community Sector Council NL announced that it had identified the community sector as an industry sector important to economic growth and job creation. The Working Committee was restructured and again added new members based on an open call. It represents a diversity of nonprofit sectors. The group along with government colleagues embarked on intensive deliberations and province- wide consultations which culminated in A Sector Work Plan to Advance the Social and Economic Contribution of Community Organizations in Newfoundland and Labrador which was released in the spring of 2019. The plan includes actions aimed at recognizing and strengthening the social and economic contributions of the community sector. Committee members brought a lot of energy and thought to this work. Their efforts have been groundbreaking.

We place great importance on strengthening the community sector and its collective impact, and we see opportunity in developing shared responses to complex problems. Congratulations to everyone who was involved in shaping the Community Sector Work Plan. This sector plays a central role to social and economic growth, and we look forward to ongoing opportunities to bring partners together from across sectors to create lasting change and mutual benefit.

  • Getting Going

    Getting Going

    A Way Home: Youth Homelessness Community Planning Toolkit Getting Going Once you have the infrastructure in place to develop the plan, you’re ready to begin. To help you frame the process, it is helpful to consider the policy development cycle. Like public policy, developing a plan to end youth homelessness involves research, analysis, consultation and synthesis of information. It should also involve an evaluation of implementation and course correction. You don’t have to go through these steps in sequence but consider each as complete the plan development process. Figure 6: Policy Development Cycle Issue Identification Evalitation/ Research & Performance Analysis Measurement Implementation Consultation Decision Solution Making Development Likely, you’ve already identified youth homelessness as an issue and have a sense of what research is currently available. You may have conducted consultations to determine your community’s readiness to develop and implement a plan to end youth homelessness. Additionally, you may know what solutions the plan should include. An effective plan pulls this knowledge together into a coherent strategy – a strategy supported by community stakeholders. 78 A Way Home: Youth Homelessness Community Planning Toolkit In some cases, the process may seem to move in reverse, from solution development back to research and consultation. This is common and not a sign of failure; you should be prepared to go back to the drawing board as new information emerges or the community context shifts. You will also have to consider what resources you have to complete these various activities. As you consult, develop a means to share findings with stakeholders. Develop a ‘what we heard’ document summarizing learning and implications.
