Refugee Support Orientation
2024-01-21 13:00 - 16:00 (America/Toronto) | Peterborough Public Library, 345 Aylmer St N, Peterborough, ON, K9H 3V7, Canada
We would like to invite you, your friends, family, and anyone that may be interested in joining the NCC as volunteers to a special gathering on Sunday, January 21. The gathering will be split into 2 portions.

Refugee Support Info Session

1:00 – 2:30pm

Refugee Support Team Match-up

2:30 – 4:00 pm

During the Info Session, Volunteer Administrator Sara Shahsavari will be giving an update about the refugee Resettlement Assistance Program at the New Canadians Centre, with a description of our current needs and an orientation on how you can get involved as a volunteer.

After the info session, we will split up into Refugee Support Teams.

During the Team Match-up session, you will join a table and introduce each other. As volunteers, it’s important for you to get to know each other and discuss how you hope to get involved on a support team. We will be happy to answer your questions and help you find a volunteer role that works for you. At the end, we will set a date for each team to meet again.

We really appreciate your time, passion, and opening your heart to help our community!
