Julie Densham HWDSB Foundation

Our guest speaker today was Julie Densham.  Julie is a Foundation Development Officer with the Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board. The goals of the HWDSB Foundation are to serve the Hamilton-Wentworth community with passion and commitment, with a shared vision towards excellence.

The Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board Foundation is a registered charitable organization and is the charitable arm of the Board.  Established in 1976, the Foundation is committed to enhancing the school experience by providing a welcoming and inclusive environment that nurtures personal achievement.  The Foundation believes strongly that all students deserve an equal opportunity to reach their potential in educational and personal endeavors.  For a large number of students in the City of Hamilton, poverty is a significant barrier to success.  The Foundation works in tandem with donors and community partners to alleviate some of the short term effects poverty has on children.
