Settlement Partner Program

As a settlement partner, you will be matched with a newcomer, or newcomer family, to help them adjust to life in Canada.
Through this program, newcomers gain friendship, support and knowledge about community resources, while helping the newcomer learn and practice English.
Newcomers are matched with a volunteer, then, partners meet once a week for 1-2 hours, for a 3 month period. Visits can take place virtually (through Zoom, Whatsapp or Facebook), or the partners can meet in person.
If you are interested in volunteering to be a Settlement Partner, please fill out the online application form above.
We asked our volunteers: Why do you volunteer with WIS?
