Sponsors come from all walks of life and bring amazing skills and talents to the newcomer settlement practice. Private sponsorship as a pathway would not exist without the work we all do based on our lived experience. Once a sponsor constituent group recruits a new member, it has the responsibility to make sure that person is equipped for best practice. Training is one way to make sure we are all well prepared and become confident volunteers. You owe it to those you settle to bring your best to the task.
PRSN is offering eight training events in 2025, so put these dates on your calendar now and be prepared to register when the flyer hits your inbox, or watch for our social media messaging.
