Cross-Cultural Volunteer Experience Program

We think this is a great opportunity for new Canadians who want to get work experience, or want to meet new people and learn more about the Canadian way of life.

This is how you will benefit from our cross-cultural volunteer experience program:

1. Gain experience at Canadian companies;
2. Practice English language skills;
3. Get a Canadian reference;
4. Learn about Canadian work culture;
5. Learn about other cultures;
6. Meet new people;
7. Get new business contacts;
8. Get your first Canadian certificate; and
9. Add the experience to your resume.

This program is free of charge.
The Calgary Multicultural Centre’s new cross-cultural volunteer experience program started in October 2005, and runs until 2007.
We acknowledge the generous support from The Calgary Foundation, which has helped make this project possible.
