Volunteer with us
Share your time, your language, and your skills
CIWA believes in the potential of every woman, and in the power of people who give their time. Our volunteers make our programs bigger. They interpret, they teach, they mentor, and they hold babies so their mothers can study.
When you volunteer with CIWA, you help newcomer women settle in and thrive. You also build your own community connections, practice your skills, and gain Canadian experience along the way.
