Career centre asks for volunteers to help those new to the Sault

Sault Community Career Centre is looking for volunteers to help new-comers to the community.

There is an information session planned in the next few weeks, and inquiry forms are available here.

Further information is included in the Sault Community Career Centre's press release below, or you can reach out to their volunteer coordinator, Brenda Cooper at brenda.cooper@saultcareercentre.ca or 705-542-9088.

Do you want to make a difference in the life of a newcomer? Volunteer today with the Sault Community Career Centre and change the life of a new Canadian.

The Sault Community Career Centre is a recognized leader in the settlement and integration of newcomers and refugees to Sault Ste. Marie. We provide the resources and guidance newcomers need to become engaged in social, civic, cultural, and economic life.

Our newcomer families are settling successfully, thanks to our volunteers and community partners, but we’re always on the lookout for new volunteers. Our volunteers offer a friendly face and help newcomers learn about the Sault and adjust to life in Canada.
