Volunteer Capacity Building Training and Workshop

HARESSO had volunteer capacity building training and workshop, which was given to our new volunteers. The capacity-building program focused on the services and necessities that newcomers require when they arrive in Canada, such as medical care, trauma treatment, and counseling.

Other subjects discussed in the one-day capacity development training and session included the requirement for newcomers to be registered in schools to assist them with the language and other everyday services such as how to use public transportation because they do not speak the language here.
The workshop was facilitated by our volunteers who are professionals with experience working with agencies and organizations that provide these services.
The new volunteers left the workshop inspired and ready to assist newcomers in settling into their new lives.
