You ll be carefully matched with a homebound reader who shares similar interests to foster a personal relationship. Volunteers are asked to provide their own transportation. Perfect Practice makes perfect and practice is what our ESL Conversation Clubs are all about. Volunteers coach new Canadians with intermediate conversation skills in group discussions at Library locations across Calgary. The sessions provide an opportunity to practice English speaking and listening skills using interesting conversation topics with a current events slant.
Topics range from family and food to Canadian culture, travel and pets.
Sessions are two hours in length. As you bring stories to life for your Buddy, you ll improve your vocabulary, reading, leadership and coaching skills. Sessions are held at Libraries across Calgary. Join us and open a young mind to a world of wonder. If you love making new friends and reading, this program is for you.
