The Leacross Foundation Funds Expansion

The Leacross Foundation has funded a new community liaison position at iSisters. The new initiative will build formal and informal connections within the community to connect our learners with employment programs and resources. Within a year, an asset map of employment resources will be produced and made available to our learners and partners, as well as being publicly accessible through our website. This is an essential next step in our growth planning at iSisters. Thank you to Roslyn and the Leacross Foundation for sharing in our vision.
