IF your New Year res-
olution is to do some
volunteer work, con-
’ sider the Host
Program as an
option.

Operated by the North
Shore Multicultural Society,
the Host program is looking
for voluntecrs to spend three
hours per week for approxi-
mately four to six months

"helping newcomers adjust to
a new life in Canada.
The role of host volunteer

is varied — it could be assist-
ing: newcomers to fearn

’ ; about available services in

the community, helping
them make contacts in their
field of work, participate in
, Tecreational activities or it
‘could be just providing an
opportunity for newcomers
to ‘practise English and ask
~ questions about the language
and culture.

At. the same time, host
Canadians can learn about
new cultures, other lands and
different languages; hosts
make new friends, and they
_. strengthen community life.

While the program itself
is a national one, the North
Shore Host program has
been running since July of
last year. Since then there has
been a steady increase in the
number of rewcomers who
are looking for Canadian
hosts. Some clients have
been waiting for up to six
months to be matched with a
host volunteer.

Newcomers like the pro-
gram because it represents a
chance for them to meet new
people and build their social
and professional aectwork.
And most importantly, they
have a sense of belonging in
the community through con-
tact with their Canadian
friends.

Host volunteers and
clients are carefully matched
according to similar inter-
ests. Training, orientation
and ongoing support is also
provided to host volunteers.
