Volunteer At ISANS
Since 2012, the ISANS Volunteer Program has grown to support most of ISANS programs and clients. Volunteers help us create healthier, more welcoming, and more inclusive communities. ISANS volunteers are expected and encouraged to act as champions for newcomer inclusion in their own communities.
ISANS works with newcomers to offer a wide range of volunteer roles both within our organization and throughout the community, offering valuable opportunities to connect and gain new skills and experiences.
