Project scope
- What is the main goal for this project?
-
Does your business focus on delivering services to individuals, families and communities? Bring on learners from Fanshawe College's Program of Social Service Work as they elevate their skills related to human behaviour, social problems and helping techniques. Learners will devote up to 300 hours over one term, practicing the skills they have learned in the classroom. Learners are expected to:
- Examine current social policy, relevant legislation, and political, social, historical, and/or economic systems and their impacts for individuals and communities when delivering services to the user/client
- Develop strategies and approaches that support individual clients, groups, families and communities in building the capacity for self-advocacy, while affirming their dignity and self-worth
- Work from an anti-oppressive, strengths-based practice, recognizing the capacity for resilience and growth of individuals and communities when responding to the diverse needs of marginalized or vulnerable populations to act as allies and advocates
- Work with individuals, groups, families and their communities to ensure that service provider strategies promote social and economic justice, and challenge patterns of oppression, discrimination and harassment, and sexual violence with clients, coworkers and communities.
- Develop the capacity to work with the Indigenous individual, families, groups and communities while respecting their inherent rights to self-determine, and to identify and address systemic barriers that produce ill-effects, developing appropriate responses using approaches such as trauma informed care practice.
- What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?
-
DELIVERABLES
Deliverables will ultimately be negotiated between the learner and the employer. Some examples of potential deliverables could be:
- Any assets related to the project (website design, research, outreach documents)
- Reflection/review of the process
- Portfolio/reference of activities completed
- Fresh perspective on issues

My name is Dana Daniels (she/her) M.Ed., OCT & I'm the founder of Blue Sky Learning.
Building Blue Sky Learning Tkaronto/Toronto-based services has been my entrepreneurial dream of a lifetime. I desired to cultivate an inclusive space where equity, diversity & wellbeing thrive. My lived-experience, local teaching roles, international leadership & extensive experience supporting disabled folks, were all foundational moments embedded into the development of this initiative for accessibility.
Team members embody values of compassion, empathy, and person-centred approaches. We give the opportunity for students, professionals, parental guardian(s), and educators to connect with us regarding individual concerns & areas of growth. We strive to provide service where clients feel safe, supported & intersectionally understood. We reduce stigma & shame cycles, deepen client understanding of internalized ableism & empower areas of avoidance to increase your personal value of motivation.
