Organization description (to be used for student promo) * Together Project connects refugee newcomers and volunteers to build stronger, more integrated communities. We make change in three interconnected ways: building newcomer social connections, supporting newcomer integration priorities, and amplifying community involvement in newcomer integration. Together Project’s Welcome Group Program matches refugee newcomers with “Welcome Groups” of typically 3-5 volunteers for between 3-6 months. Welcome Groups provide social support to newly-arrived refugees that focuses on their unique integration priorities, such as language learning, finding employment, accessing health care, and building social connections. Together Project provides a platform for community engagement to address these challenges, ensuring that it both complements the work of existing service providers and is tailored to the needs of individual newcomers. We only ask volunteers to give the gift of their time; no financial commitment is required. Volunteers receive training to work safely and effectively with newcomer refugees. To date, we’ve connected over 1,750 volunteers with more than 1,650 newcomers in 4 provinces across Canada.

Volunteers can sign up as individuals or as a group with their friends, family members, and/or colleagues. Since we recommend a weekly interaction between Welcome Groups and matched newcomer families, most volunteers dedicate roughly 3-4 hours a month to their match over a 3-6 month period. Volunteers will be asked to complete a police background check before beginning their match. These interactions can take place online or in-person, as preferred/convenient.
