About this service
The Peer Outreach Program responds to the needs of families in under-served and hard-to-reach communities. Access Alliance recruits women from high-need communities who participate in a multi-year Peer Outreach Worker Training Program as paid employees. The women learn skills, reach out to immigrant and refugee families, and link families to services.
Peer Outreach Workers support families in a variety of ways including:
- doing outreach to isolated newcomer families in under-resourced neighbourhoods
- providing information and referrals to health and social services
- helping to organize and facilitate a wide range of workshops (parenting, fitness, healthy eating, expressive arts, etc.)
- accompanying clients to agencies such as school and housing boards, social assistance programs, citizenship and immigration services, and other non-profit agencies
- providing language support.
