About this service
A volunteer-based program in which newcomers to Canada are matched with community volunteers who help them to learn about Canadian values and traditions.
The objective of the Community Connections Program is to help immigrants overcome the stress of moving to a new country.
Volunteers familiar with Canadian society assist newcomers by promoting community engagement, encouraging the newcomer through mentorship, group leadership, as well as providing networking opportunities in their field of work and opportunities to practice English.
As a volunteer mentor there are plenty of ways you can assist a newcomer, such as: skill building activities, academic tutoring and participating in community events or casual social gatherings. You and the newcomer schedule and decide on the activity. The Program Coordinator will provide training and continued support throughout the mentorship.
