Windsor Women Working With Immigrant Women

I worked with this organization because I was interested helping immigrants as well as people with difficult situations in finding housing, placement of their children in school or having problems with their case workers from the city council. During my work I learned to be on the alert and open to help clients. I worked successfully with co-workers. The hardest part of my job was when dealing with a client who has language problems. I enjoyed working and helping people especially those involving counseling.

Windsor Women Working With Immigrant Women, or W5 for short, is an overall great place to work. The staff are wonderful with few exception and the work that is done there is important and fulfilling. My only issue with this organization is that the different departments have the tendency to annex themselves to some degree, which occasionally makes interdepartmental actions somewhat difficult at times. But this issue is an uncommon one and is more of a nuisance than anything else. Otherwise, this facility employs people of many different backgrounds and is very good to all of its employees.

Windsor Women Working With Immigrant Women is a multi-cultural, non-profit and community based organization which has been serving Windsor-Essex County communities since1982. 

As a non-profit, charitable organization, we strive to achieve excellence in our service delivery to immigrant and refugee women and their families to become full and participating members of Canadian Society. We function in an anti-oppressive, feminist and anti-racist framework.

As a supply teacher, the work environment was fair. At that time, it was in a high rise building. The classrooms were on various floors and each floor lacked a secretary or liason. At present, this organization moved to another location; more positive changes to the work environment and improvements have been made. Ie,accessibility to resources.

Though it was just a volunteer job for several weeks, I had great time there and learned a lot. I made friends with people from different countries, improved my English in business environment, and got a general understanding of fundraising for non-profit organizations in Canada.

it was fun good place to work at

It's a very friendly environment, and accommodations are made if necessary. Its almost stress free because of this warm environment. Co workers bring each other coffee and will return the favour.

A typical day at work comprises of working with people who are new to Canada. My goal is to help them integrate into Canadian society and start their new lives by helping the clients work on their reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills.

being exposed to different cultures is amazing especially when you get the chance to help other people who realy need help.

enjoyed it very much and felt like doing good to the community

Fun, collaborative staff. Working with the staff was great. Could use more training to deal with mental health issues. More collaborations can be good too!
