- The OCASI Newcomer Youth Settlement Guide for Service Providers is intended as a guide and not as a definitive prescriptive document. It is the outcome of youth-led, community-based research carried out in collaboration with settlement workers selected from across Ontario. The document draws on some of the challenges and recommendations from existing research, however, most of the challenges and recommendations outlined were
obtained from the suggestions and proposals made by youth and settlement workers during the OCASI Services for Youth in Newcomer Communities (SYNC) project research.
