Community Development

Community Development


We work actively with our clients to support them in becoming more engaged in their communities. Through their participation in community development activities, newcomers and immigrants improve language skills, develop leadership capacity and breakdown social isolation. We develop volunteer opportunities, peer led programming, help catalyze new initiatives, and strengthen participation in WWCC networks and collaborations and partnerships.
