Our Partners

We provide a local platform for organizations to work together to guide and influence policy, systems, and practices aimed at nourishing positive and healthy development of children and youth in our community.

 

We are creating a database of our membership to help capture key contacts, organizational priorities, expertise, and areas of interest. This database will allow the Initiative to more effectively communicate potential funding opportunities to its membership.

If your organization is interested in becoming a member of the OCYI network, please contact info@growingupgreat.ca to learn more.

 

Membership to the OCYI network is open to all those that agree with our mandate and strategic priorities. Members of the Steering Committee and task groups are individuals and representatives from community organizations and networks who work with children, youth and their families and share the vision, mission and values of the OCYI.

  • OCYI has one category of membership: organizational partner
  • These organizational partners are a cross-representation of diverse organizations serving Ottawa
  • Individuals sitting on the Steering Committee and/or the task groups are representatives of their organization
  • Individuals are not members of OCYI although individuals not representing a member organization may participate in OCYI events, use developed materials/resources freely shared with the public, or be on the email list. Individuals may join a task group; individuals are ineligible to be a task group chair or join the Steering Committee.

 

Roles and Responsibilities:

Active and regular participation by member organizations is essential for the success of the collective work of OCYI.

  • Members identify representatives to join one or more OCYI task group as their organization’s work and goals match the work plans of the task groups
  • Members are strongly encouraged to remember the values of diversity, equity, and inclusion in addition to programmatic needs and roles when selecting who to represent them on task groups or if invited to the Steering Committee
  • Delegates may be named to participate in OCYI tables to ensure continuity without affecting member’s status if typical member is unavailable for a meeting
  • To best share materials, internally and externally, OCYI and its members will regularly share resources, events, training opportunities, and programs that benefit the Ottawa community
