Project Service to Others
Project-Service to Others is a Provincial RTO/ERO
program which provides grants to districts for initiatives which
support the concept of "Service to Others". Its intent is to raise
the profile of retired teachers by visibly demonstrating to active
teachers and to the public-at-large that retired teachers care about
their communities and about public education, and are willing to do
something to
help those who need assistance. These assistance
projects could be in any form that supports the goals of
Project-Service to Others as outlined below.
District 20 RTO/ERO has adapted this program to
meet local objectives. In doing so, it espouses the same goals as
the provincial project.
What are the Goals of Project-Service to
Others?
-
To provide financial assistance to education
related and other community projects;
-
To facilitate member participation in
education and community assistance projects;
-
To help serve the educational and other needs
of the disadvantaged in the community;
-
To promote District 20 participation in
local, provincial and overseas educational/community projects;
-
To raise the profile of retired teachers and
of RTO/ERO;
-
To show the general public that retired
teachers continue to serve after retirement;
-
To demonstrate to potential RTO/ERO members
(active teachers) that RTO/ERO is a dynamic organization to
which they should consider belonging when they retire from
active teaching.
How Does It Work?
District 20 has earmarked $2,000 annually for
local Service to Others projects. The District Executive will select
projects on their merit. A sub-committee will be appointed to review
the applications and to make recommendations to the Executive.
Individual or groups may apply to the District 20
Secretary for funding. Please complete the information requested in
order to enable the District Executive to make a decision.
Successful applicants must submit a written
report at the conclusion of the project for publication in Vision
20/20. Photos and newspaper articles would be additional assets in
publicizing the initiative.
