Volunteer Voices

Volunteering with Times Change is more than just giving back—it’s about finding a sense of belonging in my new home, Canada. As a newcomer permanent resident, it has provided me with my first taste of the Canadian workplace, and the warmth and friendliness of this community make it feel like I’ve found a second family. It’s a truly satisfying experience that goes beyond helping others; it’s about building a supportive community where everyone feels at home.
