ANNOUNCEMENT

ATEH has a new campaign underway

ATEH launched its new ASK Me Ottawa campaign in late 2011

THE GOAL?    Helping to spark more conversations about homelessness between volunteers and the wider community . . . in a coffee shop, around the dinner table, in the lunchroom at work . . .  

CAMPAIGN TOOLS

  • An Ask Me button - the in person conversation starter
  • ATEH created a dedicated Ask me website where personal stories and photos of those involved in homeless organizations are shared. A brochure for downloading is there too.
  • Using social media to follow ATEH's ASK me Ottawa campaign on Facebook or Twitter!  

ATEH estimates that across Ottawa there are more than 9,500 volunteers, some of whom were or are homeless, and staff members who help in organizations to assist homeless people. These community members are sharing their own stories in ATEH's new campaign to help re-shape public opinion and effect change. CHECK OUT WHAT THEY ARE SAYING!

Note - Other communities are asked to contact ATEH if they have an interest in setting up a campaign.
