News year's resolutions are just around the corner, and we're sure you're ready to make some changes, so why not start with giving back to the community.

Would you like to make a big difference in the life of a refugee? You can support youth and adults by volunteering as a tutor or mentor. Help refugees and their families adjust to life in Winnipeg as they build the foundation for a flourishing life here in Canada. For more information about our many programs visit ircom.ca, or click the link in our bio.

One of IRCOM's greatest assets is our staff—more than half of whom are refugees and immigrants. This has contributed enormously to IRCOM’s growth and success as a stellar example of a settlement agency. IRCOM’s diversity has been foundational in building a passionate team of staff with lived experience. Meet Emmanuel, a Youth and Family Support Worker, and Fatuma, the Lead Program Support Worker.

Imagine moving across seas to a foreign country – leaving behind everything you've ever known, all of the family that you love, and all of the memories you've made.
Today, as always, people move to make life better for themselves and their families. No matter our differences, most of us are looking for similar things: a home, food, and love.
IRCOM provides newcomer families with the resources and support they require to succeed in their new environment to feel accepted. This holiday season, please consider donating your time or money to IRCOM.

Dominique Musafiri, Greening Program Coordinator, Mohammad Salim, his wife Minana dil Mohammad, Rozina Yasmin, and Maria Marillo sharing the produce from their rooftop gardens at IRCOM Ellen. “I really enjoyed watching families working together and enjoying the fruits of their own hands,” says Dominique. This year 14 families participated in the program, learning new gardening skills, eating fresh produce, and saving money.

Maria Marillo receiving her Money Management Training certificate for completing the Saving Circle Program. “Before learning about budgeting I found it hard to save money, now I organize and make a budge to help me reach my goals,” says Maria. Maria’s short-term goal is to save money and her long-term goal is to buy a house for her family. Maria says she found the lessons in the Money Management Training very helpful. Congratulations to Maria and all the participants who completed the program!
