Description

Partnering is not a new experience for Albertans. The farm family that provided room and board for the school teacher was an important "partner" in bringing education to rural communities. The reputation that Albertans and Alberta organizations have for finding innovative ways of working together to address social opportunities and issues is unparalleled in Canada. Virtually every volunteer organization in Alberta has experience with partnering, although those experiences are spread across a broad spectrum. At one end, there is the simple sharing of resources to produce an event or activity. Often that grows to a broader-based partnership involving more complex objectives or goals and many different kinds of resources. At the most sophisticated level, there are collaborations that not only jointly develop the mission and strategies of the partnership, but also influence the vision and mission of their partners. This kit is intended to be useful in all those areas.
