Empowering the Canadian Non-Profit Immigration Support Community

The Learning Enrichment Foundation (LEF) is a Toronto-based non-profit organization that provides multiple services with a focus on skills training and economic development.

The foundation provides a variety of services, including immigrant settlement, language training, career exploration, job portal search, child care, youth programs, and mentorship.

LEF assists every newcomer to understand their unique needs and create a personalized settlement plan to build their new life in Canada. They also provide access to the appropriate services and programs both at LEF and within the community.

LEF team follow up regularly to ensure their activities and referrals are meeting their needs and provide additional support as new immigrants move forward with their settlement plan.

LEF Newcomers Program

LEF’s newcomer settlement services (Immigrant Settlement Adaptation Program) was launched in 2008 due to community demand. LEF offer a complete dedicated program for newcomers to Canada to facilitate their transition and support economic integration into a new country.

At LEF, they understand how immigrants and their families are faced with many questions as they settle into their new lives as Canadians. That’s where LEF Newcomers Program can help.

The LEF Newcomers Program services continue to be available by in-person appointment and remotely via telephone, online, Zoom and other platforms such as LMS (learning management system). Moreover, those services which are not available at LEF can refer to a large network of community partners.

To efficiently manage support inquiries and improve the overall experience for their new and existing community members, LEF Newcomers decided to implement UVdesk, a comprehensive helpdesk software solution.

Why Helpdesk Software is Needed for Non Profit Organizations?

Similar to retail businesses, all types of organizations like NGOs, charity foundations, and crowdfunding platforms need a helpdesk software solution to manage their communication and interactions with the stakeholders.

So LEF Newcomers being a nonprofit organization needs to constantly share information and updates with newcomers and refugees. The organization also faces many challenges as below:

Managing diverse client inquiries

LEF Newcomers get a wide range of inquiries from new immigrants and settlers, including requests for assistance, information about programs, and general inquiries. The organization struggled to manage these inquiries effectively, resulting in delays and inconsistent responses.

Limited communication channels

LEF Newcomers primarily relied on email and phone calls for external communication. However, this approach posed challenges in terms of tracking and organizing interactions, leading to information gaps and difficulties in providing timely support.

Knowledge management

The organization lacked a centralized knowledge base, making it challenging for staff and members to access relevant information quickly. This hindered their ability to provide accurate and consistent responses to inquiries.

Why Choose UVdesk Helpdesk for Non Profit Government Organization?

UVdesk is a free, open-source and customizable helpdesk software and it is adaptable to all types of organizations. The LEF Newcomers adopt UVdesk as their helpdesk software solution to address the challenges they faced in their immigration support operations.
