At Refugee Pathways & Integration Canada (RefPIC), we believe in the power of community and collective action to transform lives. Every person has the ability to make a meaningful difference, and by getting involved with RefPIC, you can help create brighter, more sustainable futures for refugees and displaced persons across the globe.

Whether you're passionate about volunteering, joining the emergency roster, advocating for refugee rights, or providing financial support, there are many ways to contribute to our mission. We invite you to join hands with us in empowering individuals to rebuild their lives with dignity, hope, and opportunity.

Ways to Get Involved

1. Volunteer Pool: Contribute to Refugee Support Across Operational and Programmatic Areas

​

Join the Volunteer Pool: Refugee Pathways & Integration Canada (RefPIC) offers a variety of volunteer opportunities, allowing you to contribute your skills in both direct refugee support and critical operational roles. Our Volunteer Pool is open to individuals with expertise in diverse fields such as program management, administration, finance, IT, legal services, and immigration support. Whether you’re assisting with program coordination, managing budgets, streamlining IT systems, or providing legal advice on immigration matters, your involvement ensures the smooth functioning of our initiatives.

​

Operational Roles: Volunteers are vital to the behind-the-scenes work that keeps RefPIC’s programs running efficiently. You can contribute in areas such as:

​

  1. Program Management: Help design, implement, and monitor refugee support programs, ensuring they are effective and responsive to community needs.

  2. Administration & Finance: Support budgeting, financial management, and administrative tasks that ensure the sustainability of our projects.

  3. IT: Enhance our technological infrastructure by supporting digital platforms, data management, and communications.

  4. Legal and Immigration Support: Provide essential guidance on immigration processes, refugee claims, and legal rights, helping refugees navigate complex legal systems.

 

Direct Refugee Support: In addition to operational roles, volunteers in the Volunteer Pool have opportunities to work directly with refugees. You can assist with education, mentorship, healthcare, psychosocial support, or community outreach programs, fostering integration and well-being.

​

With both remote and in-person opportunities, we welcome volunteers from various professional backgrounds who are eager to make a positive impact. Whether working behind the scenes or engaging directly with refugees, your contribution helps us provide vital support to refugee communities in Canada and beyond.

2. Emergency Talent Pool: Rapid Response to Humanitarian Crises

​

Join the Emergency Talent Pool: In times of crisis, RefPIC’s Emergency Pool/Roster mobilizes skilled professionals to respond rapidly to humanitarian emergencies such as the current crisis in the Middle East, Afghanistan, Sudan and Myanmar. This pool consists of volunteers with specialized expertise in areas like emergency healthcare, logistics, crisis management, engineering, and mental health support.

 

Members of the Emergency Pool may be deployed on short notice to work on urgent projects, providing life-saving services, managing logistics, or offering trauma-informed care. Additionally, through secondment to partner agencies, volunteers may be tasked with supporting broader international humanitarian efforts.

​

If you're able to commit to flexible, rapid deployments, your involvement can make an immediate and impactful difference in refugee communities affected by sudden crises. Participation in both the Volunteer Pool and Emergency Pool/Roster is possible, allowing volunteers to support refugees through both ongoing efforts and urgent responses.
