What is the Community Sector Network of PEI?
The Community Sector Network of PEI (CSNPEI) was formed in 2018 following decades of advocacy and collaboration amongst several individuals and non-profit organizations.
Vision
A sustainable and valued community sector for PEI.
Mission
To develop an empowered community sector using its collective voice for change.
Values
- Collaboration: We believe in the power of working together and seek to build strong relationships that foster mutual learning and growth.
- Courage: We are committed to demonstrating courage in all aspects of our work, including taking bold actions, speaking up for what is right, and advocating for systemic change through innovative approaches.
- Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion: We recognize and respect the diversity of our community and strive to create an inclusive and equitable environment where marginalized people feel valued, respected, and supported.
- Transparency: We are dedicated to promoting transparency in our operations, governance, and decision-making processes, and we are committed to being open, honest, and accountable in all our interactions.
Our Areas of focus
Enhancing recognition of the Community Sector to ensure Islanders are aware of its importance to health and wellbeing within the province.
Sharing our expertise and working towards our shared goals to ensure we are strong and efficient.
Advocating on behalf of the Community Sector to ensure our voice is heard and respected by other sectors.
Ensuring the Community Sector has the resources it needs in order to deliver quality services in a sustainable manner.

Core Working Group
Following the conference, a small “core working group” met several times to develop an action plan for establishing a formal organization, building on the work and energy from the past years. This group felt that there was enough information in order to start creating a plan, and wanted to now be active in drafting something tangible that others could comment on. Several mini-groups were also created and tasked with pieces of the development process.
This core working group included: Big Brothers and Sisters of PEI, Community Foundation of PEI, Community Legal Information Association, Cooper Institute, East Prince Youth Development Centre, Employment Journey, Habitat for Humanity, Newcomers Association of PEI, Peers Alliance, PEI Council of People with Disabilities, PEI Literacy Alliance, Special Olympics PEI, United Way of PEI, and the Women’s Network of PEI.

Our Team
The Community Sector Network of PEI team is here to help your non-profit advocate for what matters to you, acquire necessary tools for success, connect with the non-profit community, and heighten your visibility.
