Our now Host Program cycle begins in April which is the beginning of the next pairing of newcomers and volunteers in our popular Be-Friends and Family Friendship Programs.
For those who are unfamiliar with the program, Be-Friends pairs adults aged 19-30 and Family Friendship pairs parents of any age. A volunteer who has lived here for 3 years or more is paired with a newcomer based on shared interests, and the two spend an hour or so each week doing things they both enjoy and talking about life in the city.
This is a great program for people who work full-time, and includes great training and bi-monthly group activities; all during evenings or weekends!
Participating in this free program will allow you to meet more people, make new friends, and enjoy multi-cultural events and more! Sign-up to participate in this fun-filled, rewarding, cross-cultural program!
