Collective Advocacy for Rights and Education (C.A.R.E.) for Migrant Workers

Supporting migrant workers in the South Fraser region and beyond

Through DIVERSEcity’s C.A.R.E. for Migrant Workers program, we collaborate with local community partner organizations in Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Delta, Langley, Richmond, Surrey, White Rock and other regions of BC to support, empower and foster a sense of community among migrant workers.

How we help migrant workers

  • Provide one-on-one case management (i.e., applying for government and  health benefits, and job search and training support)
  • Offer mental health support and counselling
  • Inform them about their rights and how to exercise them
  • Provide emergency supports due to employer mistreatment or job loss
  • Welcome them through social, cultural and recreational activities
