There are many ways to get involved: by making a financial contribution, fundraising, becoming involved in the sponsorship process, providing concrete support in the settlement process from finding housing, training and work opportunities to helping the family get settled.
If you would like to gauge the support for sponsoring a refugee family in your community, here's a helpful survey (Dewson Community Refugees Welcome sent out a paper version and posted one online on Survey Monkey)
​
Kids, check out these links to find out more about life as a refugee and why you will want to help:

We are trying to use this website as a support and place of exchange for other schools who are interested in sponsoring refugee families. If your school community is interested in - or already - doing so, please take a minute to let us know. We believe 1000 schools across Canada could commit to sponsoring refugee families.

LET US KNOW IF YOUR SCHOOL COMMUNITY WOULD LIKE TO DO THE SAME
