Partner Appreciation: Immigrant Services Kingston and Area - ISKA

The Newcomer and Employment services team at KEYS is proud to collaborate with the ISKA team who also supports newcomers with settlement needs, government documents, housing, school and daycare enrolment, community resources and connections, multilingual services, mentoring and counselling, language assessments, referrals, and more.

For many newcomers who join our LINC English classes, their language-learning journey begins with an assessment through ISKA's Language Assessment and Referral Centre. The assessment helps identify their current language level and the language training that best fits their needs. From there, learners can continue building their English skills through programs such as LINC at KEYS.

Thank you to the team at ISKA for being such an important part of our community and championing newcomer support along with KEYS and many other wonderful partners.

The InSight Youth Mentoring Program at KEYS is inviting caring community members to become mentors to youth, including newcomer and refugee youth building their lives in Canada.

We are particularly interested in hearing from people who can support youth with:
• Learning and communicating in a second language
• Grade 11 and 12 Math and English
• Navigating the experiences of racialized newcomer and refugee youth
• 2SLGBTQPIA+ identities and experiences, including mentors with lived experience

Mentors meet with their mentee for approximately one hour each week, with training and ongoing support from the InSight team.

August 9 is International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples.

Kingston is on the traditional lands and waters of the Anishinaabe, Haudenosaunee, and Huron-Wendat Peoples. Learning about Indigenous Peoples helps us better understand Canada's history, cultures, and communities. It is also an important part of truth, respect, and reconciliation.

To learn more about local Indigenous culture, programs, and community resources, visit the Kingston Native Centre and Language Nest - KNCLN : https://www.kncln.ca/
