Through Chevra, our volunteer community continues to develop in many ways \u2013 including by running school programs for our families. These programs connect students to teachers and other families, create a sense of belonging amongst all participants, allow parents to model volunteering to their children, and strengthen bonds between home and school.<\/p>\n<p>In order to advance community engagement, the following actions are proposed:<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 6px !important; margin-top: 12px !important;\"><strong style=\"font-size: 1.15em;\">Short Term<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Build sustainable leadership for community engagement, including educating emerging community leaders on Toronto Heschel philosophies and policies<\/li>\n<li>Cultivate community feeling and leadership amongst new and younger families<\/li>\n<li>Connect Chevra more closely with school recruitment efforts, formally identifying a community engagement liaison with Chevra<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 6px !important; margin-top: 24px !important;\"><strong style=\"font-size: 1.15em;\">Medium Term<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Position Chevra to move from solely an internal focus to prioritizing three areas:\n<ul>\n<li>Engagement within the Heschel community<\/li>\n<li>Extending engagement more broadly to families<\/li>\n<li>Extending engagement into the greater community<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>To further bolster engagement of the greater Heschel community, leverage programming like PJ Plus, and better integrate this programming with Heschel\u2019s engagement offerings<\/li>\n<li>Build up team of parent champions for community engagement<\/li>\n<li>Better connect engagement to fundraising through personal stories, personal connections and linkages<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>5.
