About Fail Safe Tech Community Engagement and Outreach
About
Aligning with our core values of being dedicated to the community, at Fail Safe Tech, we believe all members of the community deserve an opportunity to participate in something that is fulfilling and meaningful while developing and strengthening bonds with others of similar interests to promote lasting relationships and support groups. While there are many communities that exist, it may not always be easy to identify them; let Fail Safe Tech be your guide, get you involved and add value! Learn about some of our engagement programs below.
Why Community Engagement is Important
Community engagement is an opportunity that provides a platform for access to resources, activities and social interactions in a way that encompasses inclusivity of all members of the community, even individuals who may otherwise be excluded or marginalized such as individuals with disabilities or other minority groups. In layman's terms it is essential to engage the community to achieve long-term and sustainable outcomes, processes, relationships, discourse, decision-making, and implementation.
