Congratulations to the Central Okanagan Elizabeth Fry Society (COEFS), who were successful in receiving 2021-2022 UBC Community-University Engagement Support (CUES) funds to support ongoing partnership development with the Capacity Research Unit as part of a larger project looking at implementing an innovative outreach program to support women affected by violence.
The Central Okanagan Elizabeth Fry Society (COEFS) is a leading front-line service organization specializing in violence prevention and recovery with women for over 45 years. As regional leaders in gender-based violence, they also act as a central referral agency, supporting access to essential health and social services.
The UBC CUES funding program enables emerging community-university partners to take the time they need to build trust, define shared interests, identify knowledge gaps and shared goals, and design collaborative research, teaching or learning projects.
