Refugee Career Jumpstart Project

Our objective is to create a network of Canadian volunteers to help newly settled Syrian refugees start new careers in Canada.

We envision creating a nexus between newcomers to Canada and Canadians. We aim to work with the newcomers to gather information education background, skill set, and ambitions. We will then match willing volunteers who are knowledgeable in the areas relevant to the refugee’s skills and goals.

Our network of volunteers will help the newcomers demystify the job and education market, and leverage their creativity and connections to get the refugee up and running.

We could use your help!

Are you a small business owner in need of a helping hand? Maybe you know someone who’s doing a renovation? Are you fluent in Arabic, with a knack for translation? Regardless of what skills or connections you have to bring to the table, you are a valuable asset to us.
