Canada World Youth is currently looking for people interested in hosting a Canadian and a Ukrainian youth who are participating in their Youth Leaders in Action Women’s Exchange.
Peterborough has been selected to host a group of 18 youth, aged 17 to 21, for three months from December 2013 to February 2014. Half the group will be made up of young women who come from all regions of Canada, and the other half are young women from Ukraine. During their stay in Peterborough, the youth will take part in various projects in the community, volunteering with nine local organizations.
You can get involved by becoming a host! All types of households—retirees, singles, single parents, same sex, and nuclear families—are invited to share their daily activities with CWY Volunteers. You won’t have to alter your lifestyle in any way: one goal of the program is to integrate volunteers into everyday family life.
One spare room and a willingness to share your home is all that is required. Why host? Experience your community through new eyes, introduce your children to a different world perspective, make new friends, exchange ideas and gain new insights, while making a huge difference in the lives and education of 2 young people.
Hosts receive a monthly allowance of $720. For more info, these is a session at Sadlier House on Thursday, July 25, 2013 from 7 p.m to 9 p.m. where you can meet past host families, alumni and learn how you can be involved.
For more info, contact Tricia Sharpe, Project Supervisor, by email or phone 705-917-0548.
