Immigrants helping immigrants

Thanks for your email Carey,

There are several organizations in Toronto that you could contact about volunteer opportunities. You can find their contact details through their websites. These are listed on the CCRMs website at: http://www.ccrweb.ca/eng/links/links.htm#ON

I would suggest contacting:
- COSTI Immigrant Services
- FCJ Refugee Centre
- Catholic Cross Cultural Services
- Matthew House
- Romero House
...among others

I hope that this gives you a good starting point!

Kind regards,
Colleen
