Benefits of Volunteering with CPF - Canadian Parents for French

According to a 2010 survey by Statistics Canada, 45% of people who don’t volunteer are not involved with an organization – simply because no one asks them to.

So we at CPF are asking you to come volunteer with us!

Volunteers are the key to our success. Without them, we wouldn’t be able to carry out our mission of giving young people the opportunity to learn both of Canada’s official languages.

Whether joining your local CPF chapter, helping out with youth activities, reaching other parents through information sessions or doing advocacy work, there’s always something for everyone.

The benefits of becoming a CPF volunteer!

Completing required community service hours for high school graduation;
completing community service hours, internship hours, or education hours for university;
engaging your company or work team;
giving back to your community;
inspiring a new generation of bilingual Canadians;
maintaining your French or English;
meeting new people and/or networking with likeminded individuals across the country;
and, contributing to the linguistic duality of Canada.

Volunteer Testimonials

My community is small, and not everyone has the right to a French school. I am volunteering because I want to give the opportunity to kids in French Immersion and at the French school to have activities in French

I am grateful for having this opportunity to know both of Canada's official languages and I want every student in Canada to always have the same opportunities.

I volunteer for CPF because it is an opportunity to give back to an organization that has given me so much. When I was preparing for my post-secondary studies in French, I received a lot of support from Canadian Parents for French. CPF New Brunswick also gave me the opportunity to connect with youth who have a passion for French and bilingualism and to encourage them to pursue their dreams.
