Together Project makes change in three interconnected ways: building newcomer social connections, supporting newcomer integration priorities, and amplifying community involvement in newcomer integration in Canada.
We match Welcome Groups of 3-5 volunteers with newly arrived refugees for social and integration support.

Together Project supports our work through evidence-based program evaluation and research to inform and improve our impact.
In July and August, there are so many fun ways for young newcomers to get outside and meet new friends!
Check out our list of free and low-cost camps in Etobicoke, Toronto, North York, Scarborough, and Ottawa.
