Internal People
At the heart of the Neighbourhood House Movement are the people who work here. Our collective success is based on understanding and lifting the individual experience at each step of their neighbourhood house journey.

Finding Balance
The health and wellbeing of our internal people and teams, are a priority, and balance is at the centre of our collective commitment. Together we will develop strategies to emphasize manageable workloads, personal and professional development, and an environment that prioritizes
balance.

Together we build workplaces that are inclusive, equitable and diverse. Our collective identity and values support our people to be connected with each other and the Neighbourhood House Movement.

Explore building an organization that works through relationships, has high belonging, and where our teams have the balance required to do their best work (personally and at work). Key areas to explore:
- Deepening trust levels across the organization
- Refining systems
- Explore the role of structure, leadership and power
- Making the time for change
Our transformation journey is a living, dynamic process that will continually evolve with time, experience, learning and circumstance.

Taking these steps, we will create an organizational environment where the Living Process of Transformation becomes ingrained in our culture and operations, driving relevant and sustained change.
The journey of collective Strategic Transformation across ANHBC began in the spring and summer months of 2021, and there are many people to thank and recognize who stewarded this unconventional path.
Beginning with Ta7talíya Nahanee and Chris Corrigan who called on us to do things differently, and approach the work through the lens of transformation. With them we found a path forward that fed our values and intentions in ways that exceeded our imaginations.
The Core Transformation Team who bravely came together at the beginning for this work, approached and upheld the process with the highest regard and rippled the work of transformation and decolonizing out into their neighbourhood houses, teams and communities.
The Strategic Planning Committee who led, guided and stewarded the process developing a new strategic plan. Together they supported each other to do things differently and approach transformation in a non-linear way. They listened deeply to the voices that emerged since 2021, and ensured that what was heard guided the work.
To those who brought the Strategic Framework to life through art, design and writing.
To the entire ANHBC Collective – the teams, volunteers, participants, board members, neighbours and many Indigenous teachers who courageously and openly participated in our many engagement sessions and conversations. Your words, drawings and sticky-notes have and will continue to guide our collective transformation.
