Developing a Tailored Talent Acquisition Strategy for a Newcomer-Focused Nonprofit

This project invites students to support a newly incorporated nonprofit organization based in downtown Toronto that serves a large population of newcomers. As the organization expands its impact, there is a growing need to build internal capacity through strategic hiring and volunteer recruitment. The goal is to create a comprehensive, legally compliant, and culturally sensitive talent acquisition plan tailored to a nonprofit context. Students will help identify optimal sourcing channels, improve job descriptions, and create interview guides for various roles—especially those related to digital outreach and program delivery.

Strategic Grant Research and Proposal Writing for a Community-Based Nonprofit

This project will help a Toronto-based nonprofit organization that supports newcomers in Canada identify new funding opportunities and prepare compelling grant applications. The organization is in a critical growth phase and requires sustainable financial resources to expand its programs. Students will gain hands-on experience in grant writing by conducting funder research, aligning program outcomes with grant objectives, and preparing a detailed proposal draft. The goal is to build a strong foundation for the organization’s grant-seeking strategy, which will directly support long-term impact in the community.

Building a Social Media Strategy for Community Outreach

The goal of this project is to help a Toronto-based nonprofit organization strengthen its online presence through a well-planned and sustainable social media strategy. The organization serves a large population of newcomers and has recently been incorporated, making visibility and engagement through platforms like Instagram, LinkedIn, and Facebook critical. Students will help build a content calendar, propose engagement tactics, and recommend tools to streamline and schedule posts. The project will not only boost the organization’s visibility but also equip staff with strategies they can continue using beyond the project timeline.

Website Redesign for a Nonprofit Serving Newcomers

This project focuses on updating and modernizing the organization’s website, which was self-built and currently lacks professional structure and design. As a nonprofit that supports newcomers to Canada, an informative, accessible, and user-friendly website is essential for outreach and communication. The aim is to redesign or rebuild the site with better usability, mobile responsiveness, and the ability to update content with ease. Students will have the opportunity to contribute meaningfully to a real-world web design project while working with a mission-driven team.
