Hello to all volunteers, families, friends, and community members!

I am Alex the project supervisor for this exchange and I am excited to be working with you in some way or another in the coming months! The youth volunteers will be in Kingston from October 20 - December 21, 2014

We have a few events coming up in the community!

Nov 28 - Gender Safety Audit - Join us to survey a couple areas of Kingston and make recommendations on how we can better prevent gender based violence through environmental improvements

Welcome!

Hello to all volunteers, families, friends, and community members!

I am Alex the project supervisor for this exchange and I am excited to be working with you in some way or another in the coming months!

This page can be a resource of all sorts for the program, while of course confidentiality will be prioritized :-)

The key info pages are for:
Volunteers
Host Families
Community members
More program info

Volunteers - I will be sending out emails in the coming weeks to you about preparation, along with other members of the CWY team. In the coming weeks we will schedule a one-on-one phone/Skype chat to go over a few things.

Host families - I am currently recruiting host families in Kingston! By hosting two (2) youth (a Canadian and Vietnamese) you support these youth volunteers (age 17-24) through their experience by providing food, accommodation and a caring environment. There is a modest stipend to cover expenses. The volunteers are engaged in structured work placements, group, and community activities Monday to Friday.

Community members - We are always looking for neat opportunities for learning and exchange of all sorts. The theme of our project is Health and Gender.
