Our Mandate

MARTR established to provide smaller agencies with a voice in government discussions and access to benefits.

During this period, MARTR was responsible for running CORE training, funded by the Department of Families. This training was available at no cost to all Community Care Providers in the province.

The Link, formerly operating as Macdonald Youth Services, joins MARTR, fostering collaboration with CCCTC. Maanaji’idiwin pilot training program launched, ensuring continued funding for training.

New training model implemented with increased no-cost/low-cost sessions. Executive Director hired and Board expanded. Advocacy becomes a key focus. CCCTC members join MACCP.

MACCP (Manitoba Association of Community Care Providers) continues to evolve with a focus on training, advocacy, and collaboration within the sector.

The Education Subcommittee, hosted by MACCP, is focused on identifying and addressing the barriers currently faced by children and youth in care within the education system. Comprising community care providers, MACY, and Louie Riel school division, the subcommittee collaborates to understand the unique challenges these youth encounter and advocate for solutions that foster better educational outcomes. The goal is to promote policies and practices that break down existing obstacles, ensuring that children and youth in care have equitable access to the resources, support, and opportunities needed to succeed academically

The MACCP-hosted Training Subcommittee is dedicated to identifying and addressing the training needs of frontline child welfare staff working with youth. By assessing key areas of need, the subcommittee develops targeted training programs that equip staff with the skills and knowledge necessary to effectively support and empower youth. Additionally, the subcommittee evaluates organizational and sector-specific needs to ensure training initiatives align with current challenges and emerging trends, ultimately improving the quality of care and services provided to youth in Manitoba.

The CSA Subcommittee is committed to supporting youth in care during and after settlement. By collaborating with key stakeholders, the subcommittee aims to address their unique needs, provide essential resources, and foster positive long-term outcomes.
