BUZZ HARGROVE TRAINING SUPPORTS PROGRAMEva’s Initiatives is pleased to announce the creation of the Buzz Hargrove TrainingSupports Program for Eva’s Phoenix, through the generous support of Gerald W.Schwartz who has made a three-year funding commitment which will be furtheraugmented by the Canadian Auto Workers to cover the full cost of the program. It wasnamed in honour of Buzz Hargrove to recognize his significant efforts in promotingsocial activism and corporate responsibility in the community.

In addition to training supports, during a youth’s stay at Eva’s Phoenix, staff helpthem to develop effective communication and conflict management skills, tounderstand the importance of personal grooming, hygiene and professional boundariesin all aspects of their lives, and they educate youth on their rights and responsibilitiesas a member of the workforce. As with all the other supports offered to the youth weserve, these are required skills to be successful in the workplace and in the communityand are skills that many of our youth have not acquired to date as a result of their lifeexperience. We thank Gerald Schwartz, Buzz Hargrove and the CAW for championingthis initiative! An official public announcement will be made shortly.

EVA’S SATELLITE: NEW DECADE, NEW INITIATIVESThe past few months have been full of excitement and change at Eva’s Satellite. Wehave recently received a much-anticipated decision from the Ontario Municipal Board(OMB), in support of our new building. There were several different issues addressedduring the proceedings and the OMB decided in favour of Satellite on all of them. Thisbrings us one huge step closer to starting construction of our new building.

In anticipation of the new facility, Eva’s Satellite has been working on a new servicedelivery model, exploring peer programs and expanding our existing programs toprovide more comprehensive harm reduction services. We have added a staff positionto increase our presence in the community; the Community Support Worker has beencollaborating with different stakeholders in the neighbourhood in anticipation of ourmove. We have had wonderful cooperation from many different agencies in the areathat has allowed us to increase our programming during the day. Currently there is adrop-in program running twice a week out of the North York Central Library, the YWCAhas provided us with use of their facilities several times a week and the Mitchell FieldsCommunity Centre, run by the Parks and Recreation Department, has been generouslydonating space so that youth can play basketball. This help has been especiallyimportant over the winter months. We have also formed a partnership with Evergreento start a community garden project in the small space behind the current Satellitesite. They have made a three-year commitment to our partnership and plan ondeveloping a rooftop garden with the youth once we are in our new facility.

MESSAGE FROMTHE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR & THE PRESIDENT

This spring marks a significant milestone at Eva’s Initiatives. We conclude our first decade of serving homeless and

at-risk youth by celebrating our accomplishments to date, and preparing for the challenges to come as we enter our

second decade of service to homeless youth.

We were pleased to commence our second decade by receiving the Harry Jerome Award for Excellence in Community

Service. This prestigious award is presented by the Black Business & Professional Association and means a great deal to

Eva’s Initiatives. We have also been awarded an Urban Leadership Award by the Canadian Urban Institute, which

serves to reaffirm our work to date and to raise the bar for the decade ahead. Awards of this calibre are a true testament

to the commitment and dedication of our staff team, who continue to go the extra mile to assist homeless youth in

making significant transitions in their lives.

A partnership was recently created as a result of a significant donation from Mr. Gerald W. Schwartz, a long-time

supporter of Eva’s Initiatives who has become our first Honorary Patron. His gift is given in honour of Buzz Hargrove,

who introduced Mr. Schwartz to the work of Eva’s Phoenix, to recognize his tireless efforts on social justice issues.

Mr. Schwartz’s gift was further augmented by the Canadian Auto Workers and has resulted in the funding of the

Buzz Hargrove Training Supports Program at Eva’s Phoenix. This extraordinary funding commitment is for the next three

years and the stability provided by this multi-year pledge will enable us to provide critical skills and supports to youth

as part of the Eva’s Phoenix programs that assist homeless youth to achieve and maintain self-sufficiency.

Eva’s Satellite is eagerly gearing up for a construction start on its new facility, having successfully completed an Ontario

Municipal Board hearing process. The new building will be a purpose-built facility in which to offer harm reduction

programs and services to homeless youth. We look forward to the next phase of this process and will be working closely

with the youth using the facility to ensure their needs are incorporated into the programs and services to be delivered.

Work on developing our other programs to the next stage is fully underway, as we make plans to unveil our first

National Innovation Awards as part of our National Initiative Program, and our Family Reconnect Program at Eva’s

Place expands again this spring.

Our optimism in entering our second decade is tempered with the reality

that there are significant challenges ahead. We truly appreciate the

generosity of our community partners, donors and volunteers who make it

possible for us to achieve our mission. We cannot thank you enough, and

we are looking forward to working with you in the decade ahead.

News and Updates from Eva’s Initiatives ~ Spring 2005 ~ 3

"The family I grew up in was upper middle class -– until wemoved to Canada. After that, we became lower middle class atbest and our, until then, reasonably successful familydynamic slowly started to fall apart. Soon after I reached theage of 17, I judged my situation at home unbearable and twoweeks later, I moved out unceremoniously without myparents' consent or knowledge.

I lived on my own for about two years with varying degrees ofsuccess, but eventually ended up in a situation – brought on byan excess of youthful infatuation – that slowly drained me of allI had. I came to my senses and moved from my shared room inan unheated house into Eva's Place, an emergency youth shelter,and accepted that I had lost not only of all my money and mostof my belongings, but also my friends. At Eva's Place, I spentsome time resting to recover from all the adversity I hadexperienced; then I started to try to put my life back on track.In a few months, I moved into Eva's Phoenix, a youth shelterthat allows homeless youth semi-independent living while stillproviding them with a primary support worker on site.

It was through Eva’s Phoenix that I became involved in amentorship program. It is perhaps difficult to define whatexactly mentorship means, or what it is supposed to be, but I caneasily note the most fundamental way in which my mentorshipexperience made a difference in my life as a homeless youth. Itis influence. Though youth living in shelters are in many waysno different than anyone else, a pervasive quality in them ishopelessness. Many, it seems to me, have lost their hope andconsequently their drive and inspiration; too many youths –though bright, kind, and deserving of so much more – simply nolonger believe that their life will ever improve. This defeatistthinking is infectious. Time and time again, I myself was besetby doubt as to my own abilities, virtues, and even my very valuein society.

My mentors' introduction into my life, however, introduced afundamental counter-influence to my occasional bouts of self-doubt. Soon after our first few meetings, I came to realize that

my mentors saw something in me. They saw many of the virtuesthat I always hoped, but often doubted, that I had. They sawopportunities ahead of me. They saw potential in me forachievements that I had stopped allowing myself to even dreamabout. I saw with my very eyes that success and a measure ofhappiness in life is entirely possible and achievable throughgoal-setting and hard work. Among other things, it was in largepart due to their support that I was able to move out into myown apartment at the end of my stay at Eva's Phoenix. Though Ihad adequate savings and a job in my profession, as my time tomove out slowly approached, I suddenly started doubting myselfand my security in the world once I left the shelter system. Iactually had all but made up my mind that I would move backinto Eva’s Place at the end of my time, and spend a few moremonths being homeless, until I felt even more secure financially.

On our Christmas meeting, I told my mentors about my decision.They could hardly believe what they were hearing. They thoughtthat my choice would needlessly prolong my homelessness. Theyassured me they were certain that I was more than ready toreclaim my life and my independence, and that my financial andemployment standing was certainly enough security for me to beable to do so. Today I live in my own bachelor apartment in ahigh rise at an adequately pleasant area of town. I continue towork at the second job I held during my time at Eva's Phoenix. Inow look back and think very gratefully of my Christmasmeeting with my mentors. I wonder if I would be anywhere nearwhere I am today, had I stayed in the shelter system; or ifinstead, I would have succumbed to hopelessness and self-doubtand let pass the opportunities that were mine for the taking.

To this day, I continue to meet regularly with my mentors andthey continue to be a source of both wisdom and inspiration forme. But first and foremost, they continue to be excellentexamples of professional and personal success for me to try tostrive for, and thus to continually better myself to the best of myabilities. My mentorship experience found me promising butbroken, and helped me heal and build a life for myself."

Roland, Eva’s Phoenix Graduate

A MENTORSHIP STORY


While we begin our second decade of Eva’s Initiatives, we are also looking forward tocelebrating the 5th anniversary of Eva’s Phoenix in June 2005. Over the past five years,more than 800 youth have been served through our residential, employment, mentorshipand social enterprise programs. As we look ahead to 2005, we close the chapter on anexciting 2004 and look forward to building on the successes of the past year.

During 2004, we continued to refine our unique case management model that guidesour approach to working with the youth and maintained our commitment to developingprograms that address the needs of the youth, such as our men’s and women’s groupsand the anger management program. Other projects include Independent LivingAccounts through a partnership with SEDI, in which they provide financial literacy toparticipants and match their savings contribution by a 3:1 ratio, and with the supportof a Master’s student, Tina Wilson, we are developing a Conflict Management Systemthat will provide a model to be used by staff and residents for resolving conflicts.

The One-to-One Mentorship program has now completed its pilot phase thanks tosupport from the Government of Canada, National Crime Prevention Centre and theToronto Raptors Foundation. With the support that the Counselling Foundation isproviding to our Mentorship program in 2005 and beyond, and with the additionalassistance of individuals in the community, at agencies and at businesses, we expect toexpand our base of mentors and develop mentorship activities that support youthtowards their goals of self-sufficiency.

In 2004, an all-day training session for peer mentors was held at the HarbourfrontCommunity Centre, with a focus on Influencing Skills and Personal Growth. ThePersonal Growth session was facilitated by iDRUM Empowerment Programs and gaveyouth the power to change how they see, hear and feel about their life experiences.The Peer Mentorship Program held its first Appreciation Event in March 2005,recognizing the valuable contributions of the youth who have donated their time andtalents to residents in the Phoenix programs.

The employment program was successful in obtaining funding for its TechnologyProgram from Raising the Roof and received continued funding from HRSDC for anadditional six months for the other employment programs. As we are in the process ofcompleting a proposal for a further 12 months of funding, we expect to continue

FIVE YEARS OFREACHING

GOALS

Some of the highlights of 2004 include:- Achieving one of the top three scores of all youth shelters in the City of

Toronto Quality Assurance Review Process- 105 youth served in the employment program sponsored by Human Resources

and Skills Development Canada- 100% of youth graduates in the Phoenix Print Shop program were connected to

school or employment- Peer mentors provided over 750 hours to supporting other youth through the

peer mentorship program- Hosting of various events to celebrate diversity including Hanukkah, Christmas,

Eid, Kwanzaa, Black History Month and Deepavali

In 2004, there were countless stories of youth clients who achieved their own personal successes through their involvement in one or more of our programs. Here is one such story:

After completing his 18-week training program at the Phoenix Print Shop, Brient Berko was awarded the prestigious TorontoClub of Printing House Craftsmen’s student achievement award. He was in competition with a number of students from veryestablished graphic communications programs at Humber College and Ryerson University. Later, through an innovativepartnership with the world’s largest print supplier, Heidelberg, Brient went on to become the first participant in anapprenticeship program with their pre-press demonstration department. In addition, his successes were recently featured intwo newspaper articles in Toronto.

With the generous support of the Hamilton CommunityFoundation, Eva’s is providing valuable assistance toorganizations across Canada that are interested in the Eva’sPhoenix integrated service delivery model and are seeking help toreplicate key elements of the model in their own communities.Groups in Regent Park, York Region, Peel Region, Durham Region,Cambridge, Cobourg, Vancouver, Calgary, Winnipeg, Ottawa,Halifax and St. John’s have all benefited from this support andare working in a variety of ways to adapt elements of the modelto meet the needs of homeless youth in their own communities.

We are excited to announce that CIBC has agreed to become thefounding sponsor of Eva’s Innovation Awards, which will be

launched in 2005. The purpose of the Awards is to recognize threeorganizations across Canada that are offering integrated supportsto homeless youth with the goal of helping them develop self-sufficiency. Along with a cash award, our goal is to assist thosegroups to gain profile in their communities, which will aid intheir partnership building efforts. Based on our experience atEva’s Phoenix, we know that it is essential to engage the labour,corporate and community sectors to most effectively serve ourclients and help them learn the skills that they need to liveindependently. We are very proud of our role assisting otherorganizations in developing their own innovative responses to thecrisis of youth homelessness and unemployment in Canada.

STUDENT PLACEMENTHaving the chance to do my second-year college placement at Eva's Place was an incredibly rewarding opportunity for which I willalways be grateful. My placement began in the fall of 2004 and lasted until April 2005. I was excited, nervous and eager to learn theropes in a very challenging field. Right from the beginning, I was given training and support that went above and beyond myexpectations. The staff allowed me to grow and learn as an individual. I felt welcome at all times and never hesitated to ask for help;it was an ideal and professional learning environment. They showed me how to promote understanding and respect when it came toserving their clients.

At Eva's Place, working as a part of the team has taught me exactly what is needed to workwith the youth they serve: dedication, caring, compassion and the belief that lives can bechanged for the better, one step at a time. Their approach is holistic and driven to meet theneeds of the individual first and foremost. A client is always encouraged to access any or allof the supports at Eva's Place: support finding appropriate and stable housing, help gettingback into school, help finding employment, support around legal issues, help gaining all of theresources and skills they need to live independently, individual and family counsellingthrough the Family Reconnect Program, and so much more – from practical everydaysupport to formal advocacy.

The staff at Eva's Place is committed to doing everything they can to build anenvironment where youth can feel safe, supported and truly accepted for whothey are. I have seen many youth, who have successfully achievedindependence, come back to visit over and over again. They know that thisis a place where they will always feel truly respected and cared about. Manythanks to the staff and residents at Eva's Place for their tremendous supportand for showing me what courage and determination are all about.

Joanna BendayanGeorge Brown College – Human Services Counsellor Program


providing over 100 youth per year with life skills support, employment counselling and 24 weeks of on-the-job work experiences aswe have done over the past three years.

The Phoenix Print Shop remains on track to reach its social and financial objectives. By the end of 2006, it expects to be 100% businesscost sufficient. This will require expanding our current client base and obtaining continued support from current customers.

In the next few weeks, we will be receiving approved funding through the Supporting Communities Partnership Initiative (SCPI)Capital Grants program to enable us to purchase new supplies for the ten youth houses and to upgrade our technology system. Withthe continued assistance from Bob Ferguson who provides mentorship support to our Maintenance Coordinator, and with help fromvolunteer groups, we will embark on our plan to upgrade and repair parts of the facility that require fixing due to wear and tear overthe past five years.

Through additional funding from SCPI and the work of Tina Wilson, over the next few months we will develop further enhancementsto our service delivery model that will enable us to better support the identified needs of youth at whatever stage they are at duringthe year they reside at Eva’s Phoenix.

NATIONAL INITIATIVE PROGRAM

GEORGES VANIER SECONDARY SCHOOLOn April 6, some of the students and staff of Georges Vanier Secondary presented Eva’s Place with a donation of $789.70. Eva’s Placewas chosen to receive all of the proceeds from a multi-cultural lunch that took place on February 22. Some of the staff initiated thefundraiser and put out a call to students who might be interested in participating. A committed group of five students and five staffmembers came together to form the Multi-Cultural Lunch Committee. The students on the committee made an appeal for donationsfrom the larger school community. They asked the students to bring in a dish of food that could be shared during a lunch hour. Therewere over 90 different dishes from a variety of different cultures at the lunch event. Tickets were sold and even more studentscontributed to the cause by purchasing lunch that day.

Georges Vanier has supported Eva’s Place for many years and is proud oftheir connection to us through Eva Smith, who worked in their

guidance department. Staff member Elton Jones remembers whenEva Smith’s office was "just on the other side of the hall" and hefondly recalls her as a "dynamic force to be reckoned with".Teacher Sadie Campbell ensures that the students alwaysremember to include Eva’s Initiatives in their fundraising efforts.She said that this year the students were busy collecting fundsfor hurricane relief and then for the tsunami effort, but they werecommitted to also having a separate event for Eva’s Place.

The students of the multi-cultural lunch committee were NikitaJoshi, Vinitha Venngopal, Faizia Bano, Munise Lalla and KuinuKunarathanam. The teachers and staff involved were Brea Walls,Mike Chan, Aftab Mirza, Sadie Campbell and Elton Jones. The staffand youth at Eva’s Place would like to thank everyone involved forall their hard work.

THANK YOU,VOLUNTEERS!


EVA’S PLACEAs Eva’s Place enters its second decade of serving homeless and at riskyouth, we pause to reflect on how far we have come and where we aregoing. Over the first ten years, Eva’s Place faced continual change andevolution in the search for its own identity and how to best serve ourpopulation. During this time, Eva’s Place evolved from a traditionalshelter model of providing food and emergency shelter, to a moreinvolved and holistic program that attempted to find new and innovativeways to help youth with their personal struggles.

During the last four years, we have developed a Client-CentredApproach and an Individual Case Management model. Eva’s Placequickly gained a reputation among youth that it was a supportive andcaring environment. Although safety and security are major priorities,Eva’s Place staff also seek ways to help youth within the system, insteadof focusing on behavioural issues and limiting services. We beganoffering Community and Housing supports and service to clients lookingfor sustainable housing solutions that met their specific needs. Thisprogram has grown enormously, serving current and former residents,and produces some of the highest service statistics in the City ofToronto. In 2001, we began offering the Family Reconnect Program. Thiswell-known counselling service once again provides an innovative andunique support to our youth and their families to help improve theirlives and wellness.

Eva’s Place is continuing to solidify and develop the programs andservices it offers; for example, we have increased the staffingcompliment of the Family Reconnect Program from one staff member tothree as of April 2005. We are developing partnerships in the MentalHealth community to better serve this challenging population and toimprove our own resources and skills. We also continue to develop andimprove how we offer support to transgendered/transsexual/two-spirited youth seeking shelter.

In April of 2005, the City of Toronto Hostel Services released the resultsfrom its first ever Quality Assurance Review within the Youth Sheltersector. Eva’s Place was very proud to learn that we were given thehighest grade and ranked highest of all the youth shelters in the city ofToronto. This acknowledgement reaffirmed our belief that if you focus onyour clients, offer a respectful, safe, and caring environment, workcollaboratively, and use the strengths you have, you can provide aservice that offers people a chance for an improved and healthier life.

EARLY INTERVENTION IN WORKING WITH FAMILIES

The Family Reconnect Program at Eva’s Place has become very involvedin providing early intervention for families and youth. All calls fromparents are immediately directed to a Family Worker and responded towithin 24 hours. Often, parents are angry and frustrated with their teenand want them out of their home. We call the family and arrange anappointment either in our family room or in the family home, whicheveris more convenient to allow the whole family to attend. In the past sixmonths, early intervention has assisted four families in keeping theirteens at home while accessing our family counselling and othercommunity services. This early intervention is critical in preventingfamily breakdowns and in strengthening family relationships.

EVA’S INITIATIVES’ MISSION STATEMENTThe mission of Eva’s Initiatives is to work collaboratively with homeless and at-risk youth to help them reach

their potential to lead productive, self-sufficient and healthy lives by providing safe shelter and a range of services. We create long term solutions for homeless youth by developing and implementing proactive and progressive services.

“When I was 12 years old I was kicked out of my home. I came to Eva’s Phoenix after living on the streets and in fosterhomes for many years. Eva’s Phoenix was exactly what I needed, as I had no self-confidence, emotional issues with my

situation and no idea how to present myself to an employer. The staff worked hard to give me as much training, supportand counselling as possible when I felt I might not make it at times. By the time my placement in the film industry

came up, I was ready and had great success. When my year at Phoenix was up, they helped me find housing. For the past year and a half I have been working in a full-time job at a non-profit organization.

I wouldn’t be where I am now without all the support and care of Eva’s Phoenix staff.” Eva’s Phoenix Graduate
