The work of the MCAF is enriched by our many volunteers and community partners.
Volunteers play an essential role at MCAF, providing valuable information and support to newcomers as they adapt to Canadian culture. Some ways you can volunteer at MCAF include being matched with newcomers arriving in Fredericton to facilitate newcomers’ participation in the community. This experience gives both the volunteer and the newcomer the opportunity to to learn more about the others culture and community.
