Community Partnerships
The Family Centre partners with local organizations, service providers, and community groups to connect families with the supports they need. Join us to make a difference in children’s growth, wellness, and belonging.
Community Partnerships: At the heart of our work is a commitment to strengthening families through collaboration with our community partners. By working together, we create a holistic, integrated approach that meets the diverse needs of families all under one roof. The Family houses sixteen organizations providing preventives services. Six of these organizations are members of the Family Centre Community Hub Project.

Hub Partners
The Family Centre Community Hub was created in 2011 to support the growth of non-profit grassroots organizations dedicated to improving the lives of children and families in the Waterloo Region. The project provides shared space and tailored supports to help small organizations become more professionalized.
The Community Hub consists of two programs:
Incubator Program: Offers mentorship, training workshops, legal assistance, and fundraising guidance to help new grassroots organizations develop capacity and sustainability. Partners are expected to transition into the Accelerator phase within three years.
Accelerator Program: Provides capacity-building workshops, technical assistance, and peer learning opportunities to empower community partners who graduated from the incubator program to enhance organizational effectiveness, financial sustainability, and community impact. This initiative promotes organizational capacity building and sustainability as well as community engagement, shared resources for overall family and community well-being.
