YMCA Connections is a 'bridging' program that helps new immigrants settle into Canada and the Lower Mainland by matching them with local volunteer hosts. Volunteers and new immigrants are equal partners in the Connections Program experience. Although the main focus is on supporting newcomers, the volunteer hosts also gain many benefits. Funded by the Government of BC, the program is free of charge and accepts participants year-round. Matches are available for adults and youth, individually or as families.
