Application fi!ed for Iocal initiatives grant
Mary Ann Kowbuz of Bayfield
has filed an application with the
Federal Local Initiatives
Program requesting funding for
the establishment of a Huron
County Central Volunteer
Bureau.
Ms. Kowbuz explains that the
proposal was drawn up on the
basis of certain assumptions.
As a result of the Federal rnd
Provincial governrne,'ts
restraint programs, social s, r -
vice agencies are finding it more
and more difficult to provide high
quality care, time and personal
attention to their growing
number of clients, she said.
This means that agencies and
their staff members must rely
more heavily on the good will and
skilled services of volunteer
workers in their immediate areas
according to Ms. Kowbuz.
"Because the population of
Huron County is relatively small
and widespread," she explained
"the need for co-ordination of
services is much more important
than it might be in more densely
populated areas. The fact that
many social service agencies
have their head offices located
outside the county or in a part of
the county not readily accessible
to the entire clientelle, makes the
delivery of service even more
difficult."
Ms. Kowbuz says that for this
reason also, the definition of total
community needs is often dif-
ficult to determine. "It is
recognized that the development
of volunteer services and the
presence of self-help groups are
healthy signs of any progressive
community, she says.
The proposed Volunteer
Bureau would offer service "to
individuals wishing to volunteer
through planned recruitment,
personal interview, referral to
organization and further coun-
selling on ways to broaden their
community service," according
• to the proposal sent to L.I.P.
It would be established to
provide consultation to citizens
organizations through volunteer
opportunities for individual
members, selection of group
projects, setting up and operating
their own volunteer service
program and planning of
educational programs.
Ms. Kowbuz says the bureau
would offer consulting services to
agencies and organizations
through organizing for volunteer
services, strenghtening.
established volunteer services,
describing volunteer jobs,
planning for training, super-
vision, recognition of volunteer
contribution and the establish-
ment and maintenance of
standards for volunteer service.
She also hopes the new groups
would co-ordinate joint efforts of
two or more agencies in
developing standards, recruiting
and training volunteers, and

recognizing contribution made by
volunteers.
It would sponsor or stimulate
sponsorship of educational
programs related to citizen
participation in agency services
and to present specialized
training programs, she says.
The bureau would also promote
recognition of volunteers in
community service and serve as
a resource to agencies seeking
trained and experienced board
members.
If approved, the Central
Volunteer Bureau would be
located in either Goderich or
Clinton, in order to provide ac-
cessability to as many people as
possible.
It would provide full time
employment for four persons
during a six month period and
these staff members would be
responsible for establishing
community awareness of the
Bureau, identifying immediate
needs and setting out basic
guidelines for future operation.
