HIPPY Canada/Thompson Rivers University - Open Learning Partnership Program for HIPPY Home Visitors
HIPPY Canada is pleased to announce that the HIPPY Home Visitor training program has been awarded 15 APST (Applied Studies) credits at the 100 level (first year college) to any HIPPY Home Visitor who satisfactorily completes the 30 week, full-time training program at the HIPPY sites that have been in existence for 3 years or more with a suitably qualified Coordinator. These credits can be used as appropriate towards an Thompson Rivers University - Open Learning credential; acceptability will vary with the choice of credential.

HIPPY Canada is happy to offer this program to the Home Visitors as a fulfillment of our promise to promote their professional and personal growth and in turn their contribution to a healthy, thriving and inclusive community.

Bond to Literacy
Many Canadian parents want to support their children’s learning, but don’t have the skills and resources to do so. The Bond to Literacy program works with other Canadian not-for-profit organizations to improve the literacy levels of geographically isolated, low-income and/or disadvantaged families and children. Staff at partner organizations are resourced and trained to help parents to instill the love of reading in their children thereby, helping prepare the children for school. Bond to Literacy is funded by Human Resources and Social Development Canada.

Practicing Citizenship
This project is a partnership between HIPPY Canada, HIPPY Britannia, Multicultural Helping House & MOSAIC, and is designed to support the participation of newcomer women in Canadian society. The project draws on all of the partners’ rich and varied experience of working with immigrant and refugee communities. The program systematically blends theory and skills for public participation with a guided opportunity to apply this knowledge to real life challenges through community based projects. Practicing Citizenship is funded by Citizenship and Immigration Canada
