It is the hope of Community Sector Council NL that publishing contact information for the groups will improve opportunities to network, share information and work together on community projects. This directory is one in a series of similar booklets CSC has compiled with the help of students, volunteers and board members to help local communities highlight their services and attractions. Similar directories are available on the Bonavista and Burin regions. Please share this document and ask others to send us new listings to make it better. Penelope Rowe CEO Community Sector Council NL [email protected] Community Sector Council Newfoundland and Labrador (CSC) i Alliances for Community Engagement (ACE) – Clarenville/Lethbridge Area Directory What is Alliances for Community Engagement (ACE)? Alliances for Community Engagement (ACE) is a pilot project being led by the Community Sector Council NL (CSC). The goal is to create shared spaces where people from across the Clarenville-Bonavista region can come together to strengthen their connections and communities. These may include individuals, community organizations, businesses, institutions, and governments. A ‘shared space’ could be a meeting, an event, an online connection, or many other things – a big part of the project will be discovering which methods work best on the ground. ACE will take the Community Sector Council’s collaborative approach and apply it to the local level around the Clarenville-Bonavista Region. It will be used to help strengthen collaboration by: Engaging typically uninvolved people through motivational presentations, inventories of their skills, and matches between volunteers and organizations. Showcasing the breadth of the work being done by local community organizations to residents of the region through entertaining, fun, and joyful events. Creating a point of connection with a project facilitator working on the ground in the area. Connecting people and organizations with resources in a variety of ways (a directory of local organizations, social media outreach, print media, radio, and more). Providing many different opportunities for local people, businesses, community organizations, and governments to come together in different ‘spaces’ to develop, think and act together. If you live or work in the region, you can help shape the project! Now is a good time to start thinking about ideas. Is there something that could be happening in your community, but just needs a little boost? Is there an organization that people do not know enough about? Are there new ways of working together that you would like to try out?
