It's time to form new friendships and help someone get started in Victoria with our Be-Friends and Family Friendship Programs! This program matches people who have lived in Victoria for a few years with those new to Canada and the city, based on common interests and hobbies.
There are two groups: Be-Freinds is for adults aged 19-30 years, and Family Friendship is for parents. Volunteers spend 1-2 hours a week doing something fun with their match, and get to attend great bi-weekly group events, which include hikes, picnics, movies, and more!
To become a Be-Friends or Family Friendship Volunteer, contact me at volunteer@vircs.bc.ca or 250-361-9433 x212 or Letitia at letitia@vircs.bc.ca or 250-361-9433 x242.
