Volunteering means giving your time and skills to help others for free. It’s a great way to meet people, practice your language, and learn about local culture. This helps you feel at home in a new place.

It can also help you find a job by giving you experience, new skills, and connections. Many employers ask for references, and volunteering is a good way to get them.

Schools need volunteers as lunch monitors, tutors, or for cultural events and reading to children. Other groups, like food banks and volunteer fire departments, also need help.

If you're interested, let us know. We can connect you with your child’s school or local organizations.
