Cooperative ESL Ministries Society is an interdenominational Christian organization dedicated to welcoming newcomers to Canada. We serve people of all faiths and cultures—advocating respect and understanding of cultural, religious and language backgrounds.
We train, resource, network and consult to fulfill our mission–empowering churches to reach out in love to the immigrants and internationals in our communities.
TRAINING & RESOURCES
CESLM hosts annual training events for staff and volunteers from church and community organizations that work with newcomers to Canada.

BUILDING COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS
Through our community network, we reach out to agencies, to connect them with our network of churches, organizations and individuals working with newcomers, to help build a community that reaches out to New Canadians with the same goal—to welcome them to our cities.
For more information on how we can help you network with other newcomer serving organizations and promote your services to newcomers, contact resources@eslcooperative.ca.
