Rainbow Railroad Settlement Team Info Session
Event Information
Description
Have you always wanted to get involved with Rainbow Railroad but were unsure how to best support us?
Rainbow Railroad is looking for new volunteers to support LGBTQI+ refugees in Toronto throughout their first year in Canada. For this reason, we want to invite you to a Settlement Team Info Session on March 27th, at 6:00 PM.
In countries all over the world, LGBTQI+ people live in basic fear for their freedom, their safety, and their lives. Through a unique sponsorship program, Rainbow Railroad is able to relocate some of the most vulnerable individuals in need of protection to Canada and help them set up a new life in freedom and safety.
For this work, we need your help! Rainbow Railroad matches each newcomer with a group of volunteers (settlement team) that assists them in daily errands and raising fund for their first year in Canada. There is no reason to be intimidated - it only takes a couple hours each week to change a refugee’s life for the better.
Learn more about this exciting volunteer opportunity at our Settlement Team Info Session. You will have the opportunity to speak with experienced settlement team members and refugees Rainbow Railroad helped come to Canada. We will provide refreshments and snacks.
Please invite all your friends, family, colleagues, and anyone who might be interested in helping to save a life.
