VOLUNTEER PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Our volunteer program has been a crucial platform for newcomer youth to engage with their local community, form social connections, gain Canadian experience, and contribute back. Over the past year, these young volunteers have been instrumental in various initiatives.
They’ve assisted with the CCO4WY Community Food Hut, delivering food to isolated newcomers and seniors, and providing translation services for seniors. They’ve also offered peer-to-peer support, co-facilitated educational sessions for newly arrived refugee youths and their families at hotels, and helped at the Flemington Health Centre Vaccine Clinic in the Thorncliffe Park neighbourhood.
Our youth volunteers joined forces with community organizations for a walk to support the victims of the London attack. Despite personal challenges, they’ve shown remarkable resilience and commitment to their communities during this difficult year.
We are immensely proud of their achievements and deeply grateful for their contributions. We believe the work they’ve done and the lessons they’ve learned will greatly benefit them in the future.
