Get Involved!
| Do you want to have extracurricular activities for your child in French? Do you want a say in what those activities might be? You will also be gaining new skills, knowledge and achieving personal growth.It is not necessary that you speak French to volunteer with CPF. For the most part, our members and volunteers are English speaking parents with children in a French Program. Volunteers get together to plan or improve opportunities for children learning a second language both inside and outside the classroom. |  |
If you have a couple of hours a day, week or a month you can help out. There is something that will interest you and suit your skills. Some examples of volunteers we need are:
All things Chapter - start a chapter in your school, you can run the Chapter, help with activities or anything in between.
Join the Provincial Board - be part of the advocacy efforts for better programs or help lobby to start new French Immersion programs in PEI schools.
