Our Partners

We value working collaboratively with a community of people and partners who have diverse perspectives and backgrounds. As a community-based agency, our programs operate out of the neighbourhoods where immigrant and refugee women live. This allows us to meet women where they are, serving those who are most marginalized. This operational model is made possible through the support of our generous community partners.

As part of our system change work PIRS is an active member in the following coalitions and networks:

Alliance for Gender Justice and Migration
Alliance for Racialized, Im/migrant and Refugee Women
AMSSA
Burnaby Early Childhood Development Table
Burnaby Intercultural Planning Table

PIRS partnerships allow us to extend our mission and multiply our impact. We are grateful to our partners for facilitating our work, welcoming our participants, and creating networks and community connections for newcomer women.

In 2021-2022, partners provided $244,098 worth of in-kind contributions. On behalf of PIRS and the women we serve, we thank all of our partners and collaborators for their continuous financial and in-kind support.
