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. We are delivering the Welcome Group Program in Mississauga, Moncton, Toronto, Vancouver, and Winnipeg.
We share volunteer resources to help support newcomer households in our Welcome Group Program.
Together Project supports our work through evidence-based program evaluation and research to inform and improve our impact.

“As a team, we’ve learned and grown together, and our match has taught us invaluable lessons about life, resilience, and hope.”
