Future of Engagement - WIP Handbook
Our Mission:
Tackling the barriers that vulnerable communities face to be effectively represented in government. Increase turnout and engagement
Our Vision:
We want a Canada where the needs of the most vulnerable people are put first.
WIP Our Values:
Support Each Other
We care for each other’s well being, mental health, and boundaries.
Community Impact
Everything we do is to help people and fight the inequity in their lives.
Nurture Others
We invest in each other’s personal growth and build community together.
Lead by Example
We do things in a way that others learn from and aspire to.
Have Humility
The community has the answers and we need to listen.
Disruptive & Creative
We disrupt the playing field so it can’t remain inequitable.
Experiment Everything & Learn Fast
Continuously experimenting, taking, & applying feedback immediately so we learn faster than anyone else.
One move, multiple wins
Efficiently using resources to make sure any single task or project solves multiple parallel problems.
Nothing About Us Without Us
We don’t act on behalf communities- we make sure they’re in the room and leading the charge and we’re only providing support.
Additive, Not Extractive
We seek to add value to internal and external community, not extract from them or inadvertently exploit
Our Working Tagline
We provide candidates from underrepresented communities the tools to run effective campaigns and navigate government in Canada.
How We Create Change:
Research
In order to have meaningful impact we must first have a deep understanding of the experiences of the community we serve.
Interventions
Through experimentation and innovation we will build interventions that help under-represented Canadians get elected.
Community
Everything we're doing is for the community, so we want to both contribute to existing communities and build a vibrant one of our own.
Publication
The publication's purpose is to give under-represented Canadians access to the learning and solutions we build.
Fundraising
Tool development and material costs from web apps to posters can get expensive so we fundraise to build or acquire them and then provide access at a dramatically discounted price.
