CICS's Community and Volunteer Engagement program is one of the many important ways that we work to meet the needs of newcomers. We recruit and match newcomers and other community members with volunteer placements, providing them with meaningful opportunities to give back to their communities while developing valuable skills, experience and networks. CICS's Community and Volunteer Engagement program helps build community partnerships, bring people together, reduce social isolation, build social and professional networks and provide volunteers with the experience and connections that they need to advance their employment and career prospects in Canada.
