Community Development

Community Development Program

We find ways to plant roots in the community.


As communities change and grow, our main priority is to provide responsive, culturally-sensitive and effective programs and services. Civic engagement programs are key to building resilient, healthy and thriving communities. With this in mind, we offer newcomers and immigrants several opportunities for community involvement and to build on their own personal networks.

Our Program Locations

We run community development programs at each of our three sites.  While the core intent behind activities is the same, each site may offer different activities based on the facilities available, client needs and volunteer resources available.  You may join programs at any or all of our locations.
