September 23, 2026

MOSAIC CEO Olga Stachova joined a panel of sector leaders on the latest episode of CharityVillage Connects to discuss Canada’s changing volunteer landscape and what it will take to rebuild a culture of giving.

Olga shared the newcomer perspective: where volunteering fits in the settlement journey, how it can build belonging and support employment, and the barriers that can make it hard for newcomers to take part. She also spoke about how organizations can recognize newcomers as leaders and contributors, not only as people who need support.
