At Together Project, some of our volunteers are the children of immigrants who join our Welcome Group Program as a way to give back to their community.

To find out more about second-generation immigrant volunteers, we spoke to Wali Aziz, a Canadian-born Afghan.

To read Wali’s advice about volunteering with Afghan newcomer families, click here!

Did you know that our Welcome Group volunteers are often newcomers themselves?

To learn about what drives newcomers to help other newcomers, we did a Q&A with Zabi Yousofi, a recently-arrived volunteer originally from Afghanistan!

Check out his interview here!

We interviewed Josh Arthurs, Welcome Group volunteer and professor of Historical and Cultural Studies at the University of Toronto-Scarborough.

Did you know that there are free and low-cost March Break camps for newcomer children and youth happening soon? Check out our list!

Did you know that in the Eaton Centre in downtown Toronto, there’s a centre where you can learn about the latest research on refugees? 

Check out this Lunch and Learn at the Toronto Metropolitan Centre for Immigration & Settlement!

Interac’s support will help Together Project make change in three interconnected ways: building refugee social connections, supporting refugee newcomer integration priorities, and amplifying community involvement in newcomer integration.

Thank you Interac for helping us build more welcoming communities across Canada!
