Strategic Directions

Our Vision will inspire and guide us towards the future that we seek to create with our communities. We have identified three strategic directions to support the resilience of our organization and positive change in the community:

1. 1. Strengthening the capacity of our community to contribute to systemic social change
   2. Reducing poverty and its effect on physical and mental health in our community, with an emphasis on youth, seniors and families
   3. Enhancing the practices of our organization

All three strategic directions contribute to achieving our vision of a healthy Jane/Finch community. They will enable JFC to continue to build on its strengths and be responsive to the needs and opportunities of our community partners.
