2023-2028 Strategic Plan

Over the next 50 years, we see ourselves playing an increasingly central role in responding to ever greater and more complex community challenges. We are taking steps now to be ready to meet these bigger challenges by continuing to grow in depth, breadth, and diversity.

This Strategic Directions document is the result of a comprehensive Strategic Planning workshop that included members of our Board of Directors, Senior Management and Supervision Teams. This document is our guidebook for the next 5 years, and outlines the key programs and processes we will kickstart, strengthen or reshape during that time frame.

Our Supporters

We value our relationships with staff of government ministries and educational organizations with which we contract as well as the many community organizations with whom we work to make a difference in our community.

The following organizations provided donations and grants over the past year that have enabled us to enhance and/or offer more services and activities to our participants.

We would also like to thank the many donors who thoughtfully gave to their OneSky Community Resources program of choice; and the many community members, community groups and businesses who contributed cash, gift cards, gifts and other in-kind items to help us make a difference.
