The NewToBC Team is always looking for new Library Champions! Each year, 100+ newcomers are trained and supported to conduct outreach and share information with other newcomers in their communities.
If you are looking for volunteer work experience and a chance to meet new people and connect to your community, consider becoming a Library Champion. To learn more, register for an information session.
The Library Champions Project (LCP) is looking for newcomers who are:
- 19 years of age or older
- Enthusiastic about libraries
- Interested in volunteering in the community to share information about library and settlement resources with other newcomers
To become a Library Champion you must attend an information session. You can find the details of and can register for upcoming information sessions below. Please note that residents of host library communities will be given preference when we select participants for cycles of the project but residents of other BC communities are welcome to attend information sessions and will be considered for participation in the project.
