The SSP will provide legal support for private sponsorship groups across Canada through four core activities: a training program for lawyers and law students who volunteer to help sponsors complete private refugee sponsorship applications; direct support through a variety of service delivery models, including legal clinics and matching programs with SSP-trained pro-bono lawyer; a public outreach program to promote SSP services and provide basic public legal information to support sponsor groups; and a campus program to train and engage law students in direct support of refugee sponsorship and sponsorship-related research.
