51³Ô¹Ï

At 51³Ô¹Ï, we value community engagement as a practical activation of our mission in serving the common good, affirming human dignity, and enhancing the well-being of people and communities.

As part of this mission, we’re committed to ensuring that all 51³Ô¹Ï staff have the opportunity to make a contribution to their community that is feasible and meaningful to them, and that works with communities in ways that is valuable and respectful.

Community engagement also provides an opportunity for team building, fostering stronger connections among colleagues through shared experiences that reflect 51³Ô¹Ï’s values in action.

The Community Engagement Time Release (CETR) policy has been developed to support staff to participate in community engagement activities and outlines time release arrangements during normal working hours. Approved community engagement time release provides access to up to five days per calendar year (pro-rata) to participate in community-based activities (where it occurs during your normal working hours) that contribute to the common good and address issues of social justice.
