Student Welcome Group members are expected to commit to 12 months of providing support once the RSSP student has arrived.
The weekly commitment will depend on the student and the Student Welcome Group, but each group member should be available to spend roughly 1-2 hours volunteering per week. This time commitment will likely reduce after an initial busy period getting ready for the student’s arrival and supporting them to settle in initially. Groups are expected to collaborate effectively and share the load to provide support to incoming refugee students.
