You Create the Opportunity to Respond

Dear Friend,

On this cold winter day, can you use some good news?

I received this letter from a partner organisation about one of our clients:

This made my day!

I was so happy to celebrate the milestones that our client has achieved through the New Canadians Centre’s Life Skills Program.

Through this program, participants work with a dedicated NCC staff person to gain concrete skills that help overcome day-to-day challenges. They learn how to create a budget, how to bank online, healthy parenting tips, what their rights and responsibilities are as tenants, how to look for work and how to stay employed.

Every settlement journey is unique, and some of our clients face more challenges than others – with gaps in their literacy, numeracy and digital skills. In addition to figuring out life in a new country, they have a lot to overcome! That’s where our Life Skills Program comes in, with training tailored to their unique circumstances and that meets them where they’re at.

Did you know that our Life Skills Program is driven solely by support from donors?

Are you curious what else is only supported by donors like you?
