About
The Ubuntu CSD (Collaborative Service Delivery) Program, is an innovative approach to child and family support which leverages a network of partner agencies and Children’s Services to create customized support for children, youth, and families in North East Edmonton. Ubuntu offers a continuum of culturally aligned, community-based, family and child-centered services. Ubuntu is one point of access to a streamlined set of services that leverages the expertise of the C5, including Boyle Street Community Services. We are always guided by Ubuntu’s core philosophy: the importance of the voice of persons served in decision making and goal setting.
Ubuntu’s Four Pillars
-
Children: every child/youth will have a say in their future
-
Family: every effort will be made to work with family members to keep them together
-
Culture: we will understand and respect the cultural context of those we serve
-
Community: every child/youth will live in, or be connected with, the community from which they come
