Through one-on-one meetings and small-group activities, this program engages immigrants and refugees in volunteering opportunities in our city. Newcomers learn about volunteerism, practise their language skills and make new connections in the community. Volunteer Samplers provide a comfortable way for participants to join a staff member and try out a volunteer role. Volunteer placements in this program include opportunities with organizations throughout the city or with SODS as a Front Desk Greeter, Conversation Circle Assistant, Childminder or Special Events team member.
