Finding a job is one of myriad challenges faced by newcomers to Canada. They tackle language barriers, adapting to a new different culture and navigating new school systems and workplaces. For the past 24 years, CultureLink’s staff of 50 and roster of almost 500 active volunteers have provided classes, formed networks and acted as mentors to make the transition easier. […] It’s one of 148 agencies supported by the United Way in Toronto and relies on the charitable organization for core funding to run programs that make such a difference for many immigrant families. CultureLink’s flagship programs match newcomers with trained mentors in high schools, local communities and the working world. Many mentors are themselves recent immigrants, so they understand the challenges firsthand.
