We care about helping newcomers achieve integration and feel sense of belonging in our community. The team at MonctonCares would like to encourage local community members to host a newcomer family for dinner, or a breakfast, lunch….or even a brunch! Whatever you are comfortable with.
Newcomer families from counties all across the world are registering for this program – hoping to meet you and learn about life in Moncton. We encourage cross-cultural dinner settings, however if you have a preference for a specific newcomer group that you would like to host, we would love toorganise that too!
Can I host more than one newcomer family?
Yes, absolutely! However, we recommend not more than 2 families at a time, as we want to focus on interpersonal relationship development than just “numbers”.
Can I select a newcomer from a similar trade or interest?
Yes, as mentioned before we have no issues with any kind of host settings. However, we encourage more and more cross-cultural settings.
Can anyone host a newcomer family?
No. Currently this program is by referral only. You need to provide at least 2 references to become a host. We believe we have a responsibility to make sure this experience is good for all.
From when I can start hosting?
We wanted you to start yesterday but it’s never too late for a good thing. As soon as you register for the program, we will start working on matching a newcomer family for you and set up a fixed date.
