The Community Bridging Program for Adults and Youth
The Community Bridging host volunteers are matched with newcomers to Canada to help them develop a social network, and to share social and recreational activities. Volunteers are identified as Adult host volunteers who are matched with adult newcomers; this includes individuals, couples or families. Youth host volunteers, school-age (Grade 8-12) are matched with youth newcomers’ school-age (Grade 8-12). Volunteers will benefit by meeting people from other cultures and learning more about those cultures.  The coordinator will help match prospective volunteers with newcomers. A time commitment of 1-2 hours a week for 6 months is needed.
