Canada Connects

Get involved with Canada Connects mentorship program in partnership with CultureLink.

We recruit experienced mentors (19+ years of age) who support a group of newcomers to Canada while they settle in the GTA and volunteer together at any of our festivals.

The program runs in the fall/winter and spring/summer and requires a 35-hour commitment.

“I’ve found a graphic design internship! I honestly couldn’t have done it without the experience I had working with you and at the Harbourfront centre. I was able to use the work that I produced in my portfolio and proudly share[d] the stories of my experience with others.”
