Extend-a-Family Waterloo Region (EAFWR) champions an inclusive community for all by working with people with disabilities, their networks and the broader community. EAFWR’s breadth of programs ensures it can support people as they pass through all of life’s stages.
EAFWR has matured as an organization and has increased organizational capacity that better reflects and supports its size and impact in the community. Fee for Service revenue has grown by 16 per cent, and two new programs focused on enhancing community connections have been launched. Working in
unison and with a shared purpose, program silos have begun to break down across the organization, and the team is more confident, capable, and proud of communicating its impact story.
EAFWR’s Board and leadership team have now moved into a new chapter with intentionality and strategic thinking to serve more people across the Waterloo region:
