Students in our Start2Finish community partnership from Havergal and Pauline Johnson PS ran to raise awareness of physical inactivity and child poverty.
The Forum For Change: What kind of world do I want? From ideas to action.
When we think about the world we want…how do our ideas become action?
At Havergal, we approach making a difference as enabling people to enjoy self-determined lives of quality and meaning. In that context, making a difference begins when we have an idea about the world we want to live in and we feel effective working with others to take steps toward making the idea happen.
We are here to help you get started. The best way to begin is to come into the Forum for Change and have a conversation about your idea with a staff member. We are always inspired by your ideas and we want to support them. From there, we will guide you through the process of building your own action plan and connect you to the people and resources that you need. You decide what success means to you and we work with you wherever you are at to help move you forward to accomplishing your goals. Come with your thoughts, your interests, and your dreams. We will help you make it to the next level.
Tool Kit: to IMAGINE, to ENGAGE, to LEARN
Our goal is to help students use your voices in a strong, clear and compelling way to articulate and act on your vision for a better world. Our objective is to support student ideas by:
1. Sharing knowledge and understanding
2. Offering workshop opportunities
3. Creating opportunities to experience effective team building and advocacy.
4. Offering seed funding for student projects/ideas via small grants
5. Offering tools and experiences that generate creativity, innovation, problem-solving abilities, and comfort with ambiguity
6. Encouraging students to think about how their ideas can support shared humanity and moral courage
