Finding a mentor is a great way to familiarize yourself with North Bay, take the first steps needed toward working in your field, and adjusting to your new life in North Bay.
The North Bay & District Multicultural Centre has created a Host Program that matches newcomers with Canadian volunteers who have similar interests or professions. Your mentor is someone who can help you out in overcoming obstacles like language barriers, introducing you to new activities, and overall adaptation to life in Canada.
Big Brothers and Big Sisters of North Bay and District and Yes! Employment Services are proud to offer the Youth Opportunities Program aimed to improve employment skills and opportunities for immigrant/newcomer youth. This program also provides youth with the chance to expand thier social and professional networks.
