We’re losingour sense of community
Reaching our Potential
We haven’t reached our potential, …because we don’t yet understand our
potential
The community’s greatest needjust may be
“community”
The Groundswell of Community
Trending of young people to hands-on community involvement
You can help change the world!
(but not by social networking alone)
Corporations are engaging social capital
Companies taking Notice
In the words of Hal
“…the Kinsmanship we originally planned…the heartwarming satisfaction of helping the other fellow; of serving our community’s greatest need, wherever there are Kinsmen clubs…”
In the words of Hal
“…I suggest a rededication, now, to the inspiration of
Kinsmanship…”
Quality people in it for their community, not what’s in it for them
Respectful, caring for & helping each other & those less fortunate
Mentoring & engaging youth
That Kin might look like…
20,000 strong and growing
600 vibrant clubs
supported by National, as a catalyst & champion of Kin’s mission
That Kin might look like
Mission, Vision, Values
not statements
bylaws or procedures
a belief system
excites inspires not for one day
COMMITMENT
… in the power of individuals to make a difference
We Believe
…that you’re never too young or too old, to get involved
…that a stronger Canada starts with stronger communities
…that the world can be a better place
…that if we work together, anything is possible
…We Believe.
