At that point Judy was determined to go back to social work with the Children‘s Aid Society when another opportunity came along to teach partâ€" time in a women‘s program at Sheridan College. She had never taught before, but her unique qualiâ€" ties and experiences combined to make her a perfect candidate. (Her skills as an amateur actress were also a help in the classroom.) The program was called "Focus for Change" and designed to help women on social assistance, and sinâ€" gleâ€"moms in particular, get back into Diploma (a twoâ€"year course)." 7:00 PM â€" A PRACTICAL APPROACH TO the parade.

Henderson‘s volunteer work on the Board of the Women‘s Centre ( now located upstairs at Hopedale Mall) is something which is near and dear to her heart. The whole idea of the Centre (we gather), is to provide a vehicle for women to assist each other, with information about serâ€" vices, support and encouragement, and basic training to give women the skills to succeed. It seems to mesh well with her own thoughtful approach to feminism. agogod The Women‘s Information and Support Centre of Halton is sponsorâ€" ing a dayâ€"long conference aptly called "Women Helping Women."
