Yellow Brick House

Please note: Not all employers provided information about their positions and application processes. Please visit their websites for more details.

Yellow Brick House provides life-saving services and prevention programs to meet the diverse needs of individuals, families, and communities impacted by violence.

For generations, women have experienced personal, societal, and institutional abuse, discrimination, and oppression. Women often receive less education, have less access to information, earn less money and have less input into government and governance structures. Women are disadvantaged as a group and disempowered individually. The personal and social context of each woman’s life will influence, if not determine, the particular barriers and disadvantages she faces throughout her life. This world view is based on a sexist, or male supremist, perspective – i.e., a belief that men are superior to women. It promotes a pattern of male aggression and female submission.

Violence and abuse against women and children reflect and reinforce the power imbalance between men and women. It is an expression of women’s disadvantaged status and a coercive tool used to ensure its perpetuation.

Violence and abuse serves to control women and protect male power, as evidenced by the fact that the overwhelming majority of victims are women while offenders/perpetrators are most often, though not exclusively, men.

Yellow Brick House is committed to challenging and eradicating the beliefs, values, systems and structures which support and perpetuate sexism and violence against women. To this end, the organization, its Board of Directors, employees, and service volunteers shall:

- Promote and respect diversity, equity, and inclusivity
- Demonstrate respect for the abilities, opinions, and needs of women and children
- Demonstrate an overarching commitment to confidentiality and safety in relation to the women and children we serve
- Bring integrity and compassion to all that we do.

Community Living Ajax-Pickering & Whitby

Please note: Not all employers provided information about their positions and application processes. Please visit their websites for more details.

Community Living Ajax-Pickering And Whitby Mission

Our Vision: Inspiring Dreams, Possibilities and Inclusion

Community Living Ajax-Pickering and Whitby envisions a society where everyone belongs – living in a state of dignity, sharing meaningfully and safely in all elements of community life and having opportunities to participate effectively. In our future vision, there is genuine inclusion for all.

We see people pursuing their goals and dreams, well-satisfied with their lives. We strive to build a community where anyone with a developmental disability enjoys equal rights, respect and acceptance, a sense of self-worth, and opportunities for growth. In this future, the abilities, uniqueness and innate value of each person are celebrated, supported and acknowledged as essential to the completeness of the whole community. We will do whatever we can, within our means, to help make this vision a reality.

Our vision for CLAPW as an organization is to be a recognized and innovative leader in the delivery of services, offering a comprehensive spectrum of relevant supports and services to people with developmental disabilities. This cannot be accomplished without a close partnership joining staff and families in a circle of support around each person. We also aspire to be a model for quality, innovation and accountability in our service sector and across the organization.

Service Values: We believe in and make critical decisions based on the organization’s core commitments to…

A mission defined by a person-centred focus and culture of respect. CLAPW’s fundamental purpose stems from the needs of the individual people we support, their dreams and their preferences. We take care not to impose our own personal notions of what makes a life fulfilling. At the same time, we remain ever-mindful of the safety and well-being of those we support. This includes being safe from harm or abuse of any kind, as well as empowering supported individuals to make choices within safe environments. Caring and respect are the foundations for all we do.

Purposeful pursuit of meaningful inclusion for those we support. The agency’s commitment to access and inclusion flows from its response to an individual’s dreams, goals and need for supports within an environment of understanding – one that makes everyone feel valued, wanted and socially accepted. Through our work, and by example, we help build a culture premised on these values: consideration of one another, recognizing each other’s differences, and treating others the way we would wish to be treated.

Always acting with honesty, integrity, transparency and accountability. Honesty, integrity and transparency provide the foundation for trusted leadership and relationships. Accountability is not a one-time thing – it’s an all-time thing, and applies across the organization. We believe in doing the right thing, whether it’s noticed or not, even when it may be unpopular. Strong governance and leadership based on these principles will ensure the organization is capable, well managed and effective in providing services.
