    Description

    Do you have a passion for the Italian language and culture and enjoy connecting with seniors? We're seeking an enthusiastic and dedicated volunteer to coordinate our Italian Conversation Group at our seniors' centre! This is a wonderful opportunity to share your love of Italy and make a positive impact on our members.

    As the leader of this program, you will:

    • Work collaboratively with program assistants to plan and facilitate engaging Italian conversation activities.
    • Encourage participation and create a comfortable atmosphere for language practice at all levels.
    • Utilize available resources to support conversational activities.
    • Independently run the program in collaboration with assistants.

    This program takes place Wednesdays from 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM. It currently has about 6 participants, but this may change.

    Requirements:

    • Fluency in Italian is essential, as the program is conducted entirely in Italian.
    • A genuine interest in interacting with seniors and fostering a positive and inclusive environment.
    • Commitment to running the program independently during the scheduled hours.

    Benefits of Volunteering With Us:

    • The satisfaction of enriching the lives of seniors in our community.
    • The opportunity to share your passion for the Italian language and culture.
    • Development of leadership, organizational, and interpersonal skills.
    • Potential for job application referrals after a period of active volunteering.
    • Participation in our annual volunteer appreciation lunch during National Volunteer Week.
    • Access to centre resources and facilities to support your program.
