Description (French)
Grâce à ce projet de 40 mois, le Centre Interligne Inc. renforcera ses capacités internes pour faire connaître sa ressource. Le projet comportera plusieurs phases pour consolider et étendre la notoriété de l’organisme à travers le pays et plus particulièrement auprès des communautés francophones minoritaires. Les activités du projet permettront d’améliorer la planification stratégique afin de demeurer en phase avec les besoins des communautés 2ELGBTQI+, de parfaire les pratiques de gestions d’équipe et de ressources humaines, de poursuivre le développement philanthropique, et de diversifier les sources de revenus afin de maintenir la qualité des services. Finalement, le Centre Interligne Inc. travaillera au développement de nouveaux partenariats pancanadiens en faisant connaître ses services d’aide et de sensibilisation bilingues.
Les fonds supplémentaires permettront au Centre Interligne Inc. de renforcer ses capacités à gérer les ressources humaines, en mettant en place ou améliorant différents mécanismes de gestion des ressources humaines, ainsi que des processus et documents de référence pour l’accueil, la formation et le transfert des connaissances pour les nouvelles employées et nouveaux employés.
Grâce aux fonds supplémentaires et à la prolongation accordés au début de 2026, Interligne poursuivra le renforcement de ses capacités organisationnelles en améliorant la coordination et la gestion des bénévoles de sa clinique juridique, en optimisant les systèmes, processus et partenariats afin d’accroître l’efficacité et la portée de ses services, et en renforçant ses pratiques en ressources humaines, notamment par le développement des talents, la professionnalisation des politiques internes et l’élaboration d’un nouveau plan stratégique pour les prochaines années. Ces activités permettront de soutenir la croissance de l’organisation, d’améliorer la qualité et l’accessibilité de ses services juridiques, et de consolider sa capacité à répondre aux besoins des personnes issues de la diversité sexuelle et de la pluralité des genres. Ce faisant, le Centre Interligne contribuera davantage à l’avancement de l’égalité des genres.
