Moving Forward: Challenges Faced by Child- and Youth-Serving Agencies in
Canada
- Authors: National Alliance for Children; Youth NACY
  Abstract: Twenty-two key informant interviews1 were conducted during the “Taking Stock” project, with a view to gaining a wide and diverse perspective about what was happening in the child- and youth-serving sector in Canada. As with the survey, this phase of the project did not attempt to gather a random or statistically representative sample of the sector, but rather sought a range of opinions from thought leaders and organizations that represented the various constituents and components of the sector. As well, four regional think tank sessions were convened during the first two years of "Taking Stock" in order to consult directly with a broad spectrum of leaders and stakeholders from across Canada. From these interviews, think tank sessions, and many other informal meetings and discussions, five major overarching themes emerged to describe the significant environmental factors that have an impact on child- and youth-serving agencies, particularly as they affect capacity building, service delivery, and sustainability.

Taking Stock: How Canadian Child and Youth Agencies Are Responding to
Economic Challenges
- Authors: National Alliance for Children; Youth NACY
  Abstract: Canada was one of the last countries to experience the world economic crisis of 2008-2009 and one of the most stable economies emerging from it. However, the nonprofit sector, like the private and public sectors, was not immune to the rapid impact of the economic downturn. Traditional sources of stable funding for the sector (governments, foundations, corporations, and individuals) all experienced the impact of the economic crisis, putting the nonprofit sector at risk at a time when the need for its services was growing due to increasing financial and other pressures on families.
