Get Involved
A welcoming Saskatoon takes all of us. Whether you want to volunteer, share your lived experience, or bring your organization to the table — there’s a place for you here.
Volunteer With Us
You don’t need to run a program to make a difference. IPSK and our partners are always looking for people who want to contribute their time, skills, and energy to building a more welcoming city.
Volunteer opportunities range from supporting community events to helping newcomers practice English to serving on one of our working groups. Whatever your background, there’s a way to contribute.
Immigrant Advisory Table
The Immigrant Advisory Table (IAT) is made up of newcomers, immigrants, and refugees who shape IPSK’s direction from lived experience.
IAT members aren’t consulted as an afterthought. They advise the Partnership Council, inform our working groups, and serve as ambassadors in their communities — keeping the work grounded in real life, not just policy.
What IAT members do:
- Advise IPSK’s strategic direction based on lived experience
- Help shape priorities for newcomer settlement and inclusion
- Provide input to working groups on events, research, and community needs
- Represent diverse faith and ethnocultural communities
- Act as ambassadors for IPSK in their communities
The IAT is open to everyone — no experience needed. Transportation assistance and English interpretation are available.
Working Groups
Working groups are where strategy becomes action. Each one brings together professionals and community members focused on a specific area of newcomer inclusion.
Employment and Labour Outcomes
Bringing public and private sector partners together to open doors for newcomers seeking meaningful work, entrepreneurship support, and career recognition.
Language
Connecting English and French language providers across the city and creating more opportunities for newcomers to build the language skills they need to participate fully in community life.
Social Inclusion and Civic Engagement
Building connection between newcomers and longtime residents through community events, public awareness, and strategies that make Saskatoon a more welcoming place to live.
Leadership
Strengthening how partner organizations collaborate, identifying where services fall short, and developing responses that meet newcomers where they actually are.

Partnership Council
The Partnership Council is IPSK’s leadership body. It brings together senior decision-makers from government, education, health, housing, employment, justice, faith communities, ethnocultural organizations, and Indigenous and Métis partners.
The Council sets strategic direction, removes barriers to collaboration, and holds the partnership accountable to real outcomes.
