Tamarack, An Institute for Community Engagement is a Canadian not-for-profit organization founded in 2001 for the purposes of poverty reduction through the process of community engagement. It does so by focusing on the social process along with local leadership in order to build relationships among individuals and foster trust. The objective is to frame and identify community issues and articulate the social process in a way that will engage people from a broadly inclusive selection of community sectors. Statistics released by the McConnell Foundation indicate that since its inception, 56,806 households have received support via measures affecting access to housing, asset development, employer practices and income supports, and that a total of 1,985 organizations (non-profit 621; government 423; business 425; low income 127) have been active participants. The founder and director of Waterloo based Tamarack, Paul Born, launched two books for reducing poverty in Canadian cities in 2009.〔 == Sources == *The Conference Board of Canada, Community-Based Learning Opportunities, Winner, 2006, Tamarack: An Institute for Community Engagement, http://www.conferenceboard.ca/Libraries/EDUC_PUBLIC/Tamarack-CS.sflb *McConnell Foundation, Vibrant Communities, http://www.mcconnellfoundation.ca/en/programs/vibrant-communities *Maytree Foundation, Grants, Loans and Scholarships, The Tamarack Institute, http://maytree.com/grants/partners/tamarack 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tamarack, An Institute for Community Engagement」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
