Front Desk Volunteer

1406 Centre St NE, Calgary, AB, T2E 2R9 [map]

3-7 hours / weekly

Ongoing

Founded initially as the Calgary Chinese Community Service Association (CCCSA) in 1978, and rebranded in 2021 as Diversecitie, we are a community-based organization with the mission to create an inclusive and supportive society where all people have full and equitable access to all aspects of Canadian society. Our vision is to continue working on making Calgary and surrounding areas a welcoming home for immigrants of any cultural and ethnic origin, where they can feel meaningfully engaged in the community. We take part in building a more inclusive society by addressing cultural , social, economic, and language barriers, and acting as a bridge to private and public institutions.
