MEMBERS

Prior to this website, our growing network benefited from word-of-mouth recruitment and information sharing amongst existing relational, regional, and sectoral networks across the country. Learn more about joining our network.

We welcome members who self-identify as:

  • Filipino/a/x in Canada
  • Studying and/or practicing in the fields of social service, social work, and community work

We’re growing every day! Over the past few years, we’ve heard from social work students and practitioners across the country, and all are keen to maintain connections and grow their network. We’re here to help broker connections between agencies, cities, regions, and across the country. In the past, we’ve maintained an email listserv for our formal communications. We’re now transitioning to a database on this website.

 

Online Member Directory: We’re working on an online directory of practitioners – more to come soon.

An informal Facebook group emerged in 2017 for Toronto-based practitioners. In 2018, we operationalized it towards the broader emerging network across Canada. Now with 175+ members, we welcome you to join this informal space and encourage you to post, respond, and engage how you see fit.
