Our communities in the lower mainland are home to the third largest population of newcomers (immigrants and refugees). Often, people new to Canada encounter fear and anxiety over beginning a new life. WE would like to change that fear into determination and hope through friendship; thus, enabling them with confidence to engage and support their community with their skills and talents. The Host Volunteer program assist newcomers in overcoming language and social barriers by providing emotional and social support through rewarding friendships.

DIVERSEcity Community Resources Society would like to invite all those who are interested to learn more about this program by attending our program orientation at the following dates and locations.
