Meet The Team
The people building Haven.
A small team with a big mission — building the system that helps refugees become independent in Canada faster.
Our Teachers
Haven's language program is supported by 30+ professional ESL teachers across Canada. Many are refugees themselves — a special advantage for lower-level students who benefit from learning with a teacher from their community who speaks their language.
