Thank you for your interest in volunteering with Canadians Connections, a grassroots 100% volunteer-run group of GTA residents who have significant experience in the private sponsorship of refugees and the refugee settlement sector. We are partnered with Afghan Canadian Interpreters, an organization that has worked tirelessly for 5 years in the evacuation of Afghans who assisted Canada. http://www.afghaninterpreters.ca/

Please complete this form as an expression of your interest to volunteer with us. Before getting you started, we just need some basic info for our records. Once we receive your application, we'll set up a short phone call, review it together, and decide what is a good fit for both you and Canadian Connections.
