Ready Set Match #1: Building a Strong BVOR Sponsorship Group (Online 4-part training series, Canada-wide)

A successful sponsorship begins with someone – just like you – who wants to welcome refugees into their community and help them thrive. But you can’t do it alone. Join us as we share practical guidance and resources on how to find like-minded people and build a strong sponsorship group together.

In this training session, you’ll learn about: 

• the different types of sponsorship groups
• group structures and roles of group members
• how to find people to join your group
• how to work together effectively as a group

Format: a 30-minute webinar followed by an optional Q&A, plus handouts

Please note, this webinar starts at 12 pm (noon) EDT.

Important: If you are a refugee or know of a refugee looking for sponsors in Canada, please do not attend this webinar. The program cannot accept applications for sponsorship from refugees abroad. Refugees for the BVOR program are referred by the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) and selected by the Canadian government based on a specific set of criteria. Refugees cannot apply, and sponsors cannot name someone for this program.
