LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT & EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Operation Springboard is pleased to be celebrating another incredible year. We
proudly served over 12,500 clients in 130 communities and have remained committed
to innovation and advancing skill development outcomes across all of our programs.
Innovation is particularly evident in the expansion of our Community Learning HUB
from 11 to 36 Ontario sites involving 21 community agencies and 7 youth secure
custody facilities. With lead funding from the Ministry of Children and Youth Services,
we are transforming paper-based best practice programs to an interactive multimedia
platform that is significantly improving program results. Targeted youth have become
more engaged in the skill learning process and program completion and retention
rates have soared from 75% to 95%. The generous support of foundations,
corporations and individual donors has allowed us to develop new HUB content for our
employment programs, as well as for individuals with developmental disabilities and
at risk adult populations.
Some key highlights from the last year include:
Brad Lambert
• Implementation of Employment Ontario’s new employment service model
which provides a seamless ‘one stop shop’ for skill development, connecting
over 1,800 youth and adults to jobs, training and community opportunities.
• Awarded Ontario Trillium Foundation grant to deliver our ‘Digital Den’ after
school program to help youth develop digital graphic design skills to further
personal and employment goals.
• Introduction, through funding from the Ministry of Community and Social
Services, of our new Family Support Worker program and continued
investment in person directed planning supports for individuals with
developmental disabilities.
• Creation of diverse, new partnerships with such organizations as MaRS
Discovery District, Toronto Board of Trade, BDO, and Sheridan College that will
broaden the reach and effectiveness of our programs.
A special thanks to Springboard’s passionate, committed and energetic staff, Board
Members, volunteers, funders, donors and community partners who have enabled us
to achieve such amazing results, despite the challenging economic and social
environment. We invite you to continue viewing our new annual report format and
learn how Springboard is making our communities stronger by improving the lives of
the clients we serve.
Thank you for your outstanding support and we look forward to working with you in
the year to come.
