CRM 3325: Restorative Justice Kanatase Horn CityStudio Project: Deliverable One Environmental Scan For this assignment, students in their groups will do an environmental scan to explore and describe what organizations, programs, and services are offered in the Heron Road community. Although each group has been assigned a specific organization (i.e., Taggart Parkes Family Clubhouse or Heatherington EarlyON Family Centre), as well as a specific program, this assignment requires your group to familiarize yourself with the wider network of organizations that exist in the area. That said, this will be a ‘high level’ assessment of available programs and services, in the sense that your group should identify the various organizations, including your own organization . More specifically, you should briefly describe its purpose, before then briefly describing the programs and services each organization offers that divert youth from violent- related activities . In short, this assignment will require your group to understand the network of available social services that surround the organization your group has been assigned. While this will be a largely descriptive exercise, an important element may require you to explore how certain organizations might be connected and related. In other words, some community organizations may have a working relationship with each other, whereby service- users (i.e., clients) might be directed to another organization that offers specific programming. Should these relationships exist, it will be your role to briefly describe this relationship. Having said that, this will be a rather minimal aspect of this assignment, since the priority will be to describe the organizations and their violence-reducing programs. To assist you in this exercise, you should at least describe the following three organizations and their relevant programs and services : 1) Taggart Parkes Family Clubhouse, 2) South-East Ottawa Community Health Centre (SEOCHC), and 3) Heron Road Community Centre. Your group can also explore other relevant organizations in the Heron Road community. To help you begin this assignment, consider the following questions: What is the organization’s main purpose? Do they have a mission statement? Chris Who are the organization’s main demographic? Chris Does the organization follow/implement government laws or policies? Stacey What kind of programs does the organization offer? Ella Are there restorative justice programs in the region? Maddie Do these programs seek to divert youth from violence-related activities? How so? Ella Does the organization divert or transfer service-users to other organizations? Why? Maddie This assignment will be graded out of 20 marks . More specifically, 5 marks will be evaluated for academic formatting issues, such as a title page, grammar, spelling, and the inclusion of a bibliography. The remaining 15 marks will be evaluated for the content of your environmental scan, including the quality and depth of your descriptions of the organizations and their programs and services. Each member of your group will receive the same grade, so it will be up to your group to ensure that you all contribute equally. This assignment is worth one third of the 30%
CRM 3325: Restorative Justice Kanatase Horn total that has been set aside for the CityStudio Project. In other words, this assignment is worth 10% of your final grade. This will be a rather short assignment, in that your submission should be around 4-5 pages not including the title page and bibliography. Your group can go beyond this page limit— within reason— but I would encourage you to try to stay near the 4–5-page preference. That said, being a rather short assignment, this will require your group to determine what information should be included, and what should be left out. This assignment will be due on Friday February 16 at 11:59 PM as a Word document. Since I am still unsure how this assignment will be submitted, for right now , this assignment should be emailed to me ( khorn@uottawa.ca ) directly by a member of your group. If I do create a portal on Brightspace for the assignment to be submitted, I will notify the class. Good luck!
