Saint John YMCA Expanding Programming for Newcomers
2024-11-01 14:09
Saint John, NB – The Saint John YMCA is expanding its programming to better serve newcomers to the city. The Y will be offering a variety of new programs and services, including English language classes, job training, and childcare.
The Y’s new programming is part of a larger effort to make Saint John more welcoming and inclusive for newcomers. In recent years, the city has seen a significant increase in the number of people immigrating from other countries. Many of these newcomers face challenges such as language barriers, unemployment, and lack of childcare.
The Y’s new programming is designed to help newcomers overcome these challenges and integrate into the community. The English language classes will help newcomers improve their language skills, while the job training programs will help them find employment. The childcare services will allow newcomers to participate in the Y’s programs and services without having to worry about finding childcare.
The Y is also working with other organizations in the community to provide newcomers with a range of support services. These services include housing assistance, healthcare, and legal aid.
The Y’s new programming is being funded by a grant from the Government of Canada. The grant will allow the Y to offer the programs and services free of charge to newcomers.
“We are very excited to be able to offer these new programs and services to newcomers to Saint John,” said Y CEO John Janes. “We believe that these programs will make a real difference in the lives of newcomers and help them to integrate into our community.”
The Y’s new programming will begin in January 2025. For more information, please contact the Y at (506) 658-5484.
