The Development of an Action Plan to Expand Volunteerism & Leadership on the Lower North Shore of Quebec

Throughout phase one of this project, a needs assessment study was successfully carried out to identify the needs of the one hundred and thirteen (113) community organizations and twenty-one (21) regional organizations on the coast; along with a volunteer awareness campaign and the building of a strong volunteer base for the fifteen (15) communities of the Lower North Shore of Quebec. This study was then distributed to all the organizations, the working group, the Board of Directors of the Coasters Association and the volunteers who participated in this project. It has been shared with various Quebec Community Group Networks and HRD Community Table groups across the province, along with various federal and provincial government departments. It has been used as a working tool by many organizations on and off the coast.
