Get involved
For getting involved, we use an image of boots. We believe in pulling on our boots and getting down to work! But our colourful boots also communicate that we believe working together in community towards big, important goals is a dynamic, bright space.
We support many different kinds of activities and, for each, there are many ways to get involved. Here are a few current opportunities.
If you're interested in signing up to volunteer for these or any other activities, click here.
If you prefer to show your support through a donation, click here.
Or, if you just want to find out more, contact us here.
Based on mutual consultation, those who volunteer for 6–12 months will be eligible to receive a letter of reference from us for job-seeking. This is one way we can show practical thanks to our amazing volunteers!
Donations for newcomers
Help newcomers by donating what you no longer need.
It's easy! Clothing, furniture, and other household items in good repair can be brought to:
Business support
Many business support Ukraine and this evolves all the time. We'll post an initial list on this page.
Keep checking back here to get updated information, so you can support businesses that support Ukraine.
Mentoring support
Sitting with newcomers to help them with their language skills, job search, and many other settling in skills can have a huge impact.
You don't have to be an English teacher or an employment counsellor. Just offer a bit of your time and experience—for example, through the Kelowna Community Resource Centre.
