COSTI is currently recruiting volunteers for its Community Connections Program to support government-sponsored refugee families arriving in the Greater Toronto Area. Selected volunteers will be matched with a newcomer family to assist in their integration and settlement journey, providing guidance, support, and a welcoming presence as they adapt to their new community.

Duties of Welcome Group volunteers might vary based on the family’s needs, some of which might include  

  • Build a positive and trusting relationship with newcomer families 

  • Socialize and engage with the newcomer family to help build connections and raise a sense of belonging 

  • Provide interpretation support if you speak the same language as the family  

  • Escort the newcomer clients to some appointments to help navigate the public transportation system 

  • Provide information and share resources based on the family's needs 

  • Hold a casual conversation with parents/ adult family members to enhance English skills
