At Engage10 Consulting, we are passionate about serving community-focused organizations! So, what does that mean? A community-focused organization is any organization that prioritizes the needs and interests of the community in which they are situated. These organizations work to address social, economic, or environmental issues affecting their communities, often through programs, services, and advocacy. Key characteristics include: Local Engagement: They involve community members in decision-making and program development to ensure that their efforts reflect the community’s needs. Collaboration: They often partner with other local organizations, government entities, and businesses to amplify their impact. Advocacy: Many community-focused organizations advocate for policy changes that benefit their community, striving for systemic improvements. Overall, their goal is to empower residents and foster a sense of community while promoting positive change. Learn more about how Engage10 serves these organization here: https://wix.to/obsV60D

How Will You Honor Orange Shirt Day?   Orange Shirt Day is only two weeks away, and the countdown is on! 🧡 It’s more than just a day to wear orange—it’s a powerful reminder of the impact of residential schools on Indigenous communities and an opportunity for all of us to take part in the journey of healing and reconciliation. Whether you're an individual supporter or part of a company that wants to make a difference, there are meaningful ways you can get involved.   Here are a few ways to participate and honor the day:  👕 Wear your Old's Cool x AHF orange shirt: to spark conversations and show visible support for the survivors of residential schools. It’s not just a shirt, it’s a statement. Every shirt sold helps fund Indigenous health programs, making a real impact in the lives of those who need it most.     🧡 Attend local events: focused on learning and reflection. Whether it’s an educational webinar, a community walk, or a storytelling session with Indigenous Elders, these events provide a space for you to listen, learn, and reflect on the legacy of residential schools.     📖 Educate yourself and others about Truth and Reconciliation. Share what you learn with friends, family, and coworkers. Start conversations that challenge assumptions, promote understanding, and inspire action toward reconciliation. Knowledge is a powerful tool for change.     With only two weeks left, now is the perfect time to start planning how you’ll honor the day. Every step toward awareness, understanding, and healing contributes to a brighter future for all of us. Take action today and be part of the movement toward reconciliation and healing for Indigenous communities.    Check out this link to purchase your orange shirt today! https://lnkd.in/eHFa6FPF Let’s make every moment count as we move toward Orange Shirt Day.
