About this service
A new country can be intimidating, but it doesnt have to be a big, scary place. As a Connections Project volunteer, you will be a role model, mentor and a friend to newcomer youth, helping with their adjustment to Canada. Children enrolled in Connections Project are newcomer youth who need a friend and mentor, like you, to help them build the confidence they need to achieve their full potential.
With a goal of social integration, Connections Project members meet weekly in a group setting, on school property. Mentoring sessions include fun, educational activities, games and a potential for homework help or open discussion. Mentees will practice English language skills, make new friends, learn more about Canada and most importantly have fun.
