Host Program volunteers provide friendship to newly arrived immigrants. Canadian volunteers are matched with immigrants to lend support, to help with language barriers, and to show newcomers about life in Canadian communities. The Host Program is a special opportunity for resident Canadians to help new immigrants participate in the community. As a volunteer, you have the opportunity to make a new friend, learn about another land, a different language, and a new culture. The Host Program does not involve a financial commitment.
Volunteers share time and friendship with immigrants during the critical first months.
