Summer employees reflect on their experiences

It was a blessing learning how to serve those who see life differently than I do, reminding me about what is really important in this world. This program is doing very impactful work to enhance the wellbeing of residents, and I felt honored to
witness it up close. I learned so many new skills, grew in creative problem solving, and built deep friendships along the way.

Chloe                                                                                                                    Community Coordinator at Wentworth Program in Hamilton

Joining Indwell’s team and learning their vision to provide hope and homes gave me a sense of purpose—waking up every day knowing that I’m making people’s lives better. I’ve learned a great deal about different mechanical systems and maintenance from my work with the Southwest facilities team. Indwell is
not only providing hope and homes for its tenants, but also for its employees. I found hope in all the smiles and welcoming attitudes—from both employees and tenants. I found a home in the sense of belonging. Working for Indwell was a meaningful experience that I will never forget.

Ashraf
Facilities Maintenance Coordinator, Southwestern Ontario

The staff and tenants at Indwell are amazing people that made me feel like I belonged. Working at Indwell has allowed me to grow personally as well as professionally. I’m grateful for everything this position has given me!

Rebecca
Community Coordinator at Blossom Park in Woodstock

Given the circumstances surrounding the pandemic, I was grateful for the opportunity to bring tenants together once again. My experience at Parkdale Landing taught me about resilience and the ability to support one another through difficult times. I hope to incorporate these practices of working in a supportive community into my personal and professional journey.

Annemarie
Community and Housing Support Worker at Parkdale Landing
in Hamilton

Working at Indwell not only provided me with tangible job experience, but it also gave me an opportunity to contribute to something greater in my community. I had a chance to work on some amazing projects, and have walked away with a strong vision for my future.

Alyssa
Communications Assistant, Hamilton

It is good to see your organization flourishing thanks to the awesome work that people like you continue to do. I remain thankful that those I care about had a safe and supportive place to live. A blessing in very unfortunate and complicated circumstances throughout the years.

I am so thankful to your staff and the entire Indwell team. My daughter finally found peace and love, and she has gotten way better. She is doing great and we are all so proud of her.

I am donating my birthday to Indwell because I think Indwell values the inherent dignity of all people as image bearers of God. I think it is important people who might have trouble finding jobs and affordable housing have a safe to live to live, and I think that Indwell is doing just that.

I just wanted to pass along a sincere thank you to all of you at Indwell. I've seen firsthand the positive difference you are making in communities and the lives of individuals in need. It's quite amazing, really, what you've been able to accomplish. I would hope that your model of care and ability to put roofs over people's heads can be the inspiration and a "road map" going ahead for Ontario… and beyond!
