Overview:
Since 1994, more than 10,000 newcomers have settled in our region, making Niagara one of the largest points of entry into Canada. Of these newcomers, approximately 60% are single mothers who require job training and coaching in order to develop financial independence.

Program Investment by United Way:
1. Crossroads
Together with the Niagara Women's Enterprise Centre and the YWCA of St. Catharines, the FAMC delivers Crossroads, a program that provides coaching and support in terms of support, information, learning, and mentoring opportunities to immigrant women in an effort to increase their ability to be a part of the paid work force.
