Monica Place is proud to be accredited through the Canadian Centre for Accreditation, a third-party review based on accepted organizational practices that promote ongoing quality improvement and responsive, effective community service.
It was unanimous! All three Boards of Directors from Carizon, KW Counselling, and Monica Place came together in December and agreed to formally become one agency. This is after many months of working together at all levels of our organizations, and significant amounts of engagement with our volunteers, community partners and donors. We are so grateful to everyone for the participation and effort that was dedicated to this meaningful work.
Monica Place changes the lives of young women and their children. We offer education, child minding, nutrition, and emotional support across two locations – one in Cambridge and one in Waterloo. In Monica Place Waterloo we offer a residential program and a community-based program. We run a full time on site high school and allow women in our community to finish their education, and offer day care to support schooling. In Cambridge we offer sixteen, two-bedroom independent transitional apartments along with staffed programming to help support young women and their families’ transition to independence. Read more about our services and their impact in our most recent annual report.
We would love to keep you updated on what we’re up to. You can learn more about our milestones and events in ‘Latest News’, or read about our exceptional staff and clients in ‘Our Stories’.
