Practicing your French: by volunteering!
WHAT: Volunteering is a great way to practice French!
WHY: Giving of your time to help a local community organization has many rewards. It is a great way to meet new people, gain experience and of course, practice your language skills!
WHERE:The LIVE Centre is a service which helps Concordia students connect with volunteer opportunities.
WHEN: Drop in at the Volunteer Resource Centre at SGW H-608-1 during our office hours . A Volunteer Ambassador will be there to discuss opportunities that will help you meet your goals. Be sure to tell them you are interested in practicing French so they can point you to appropriate resources. They will also be able to explain how the process works and answer your questions.
