We connect newcomers with local volunteers to build relationships and learn about your community.

This mentoring program for new immigrants in Canada includes:

• Weekly meetings with your mentor for 3 months
• Access to local group events and field trips
• Group networking events with speakers or social activities

Who are the mentors?

Our volunteer mentors are friendly and ready to help. Many came to Canada as immigrants themselves, so they understand your struggles. Together you will get to practice your English, try new activities, and explore your local community.

How to apply

Email us your interest to apply. We can match you with the best mentor for your needs:

1. Email culture@mosaicbc.org or call the closest location to you
2. Schedule an intake interview

Once you are matched with a social mentor, we will connect you through email. Then you will coordinate your weekly meetings online or at a public place, like a library.
