International Students skating at Nestaweya River Trail – February 2019

Do you have a genuine interest and curiosity to learn about other cultures? Are you excited to share your own culture with others and willing to have insightful conversations about life experiences and perspectives? Do you enjoy being able to explore all that Winnipeg has to offer?

The Intercultural Partnership Program is looking for individuals just like you to take part in a cross-cultural volunteer experience this term. The program is a fun experience and truly makes a difference in the lives of local and global partners. Staff can participate and/or promote this program in their classrooms.

This partnership program matches Global Partners (immigrant or international students) with Local Partners (anyone with 1+ years of experience in Canada) for a fun and rewarding intercultural experience! 
  
It’s a fun way to explore Winnipeg, make new friends, get involved in campus life, and develop valuable intercultural communication skills. Free tickets to events and activities are part of this program. 
  
The volunteer commitment is a total of 10 hours of time from February to March. Your commitment includes a 1-hour orientation meeting, 7 hours of partner meeting time, and the completion of a final survey. Once you finish, you will receive a Certificate of Participation and a reference letter upon request. 
  
Two $1,000 Awards are available for partnerships that embrace the spirit of Partnership! 
  
Visit our website: https://www.rrc.ca/diversity/partnerships-awards/partnership/. The deadline for winter applications is Friday, January 20th.
  
For more information, please get in touch with Lauren Dominici, Partnership Program Coordinator at 204.632.2317 or imp@rrc.ca
