Frontiers Foundation is a federally chartered non-profit charity that recruits volunteers from across Canada, and from many different countries throughout the world to come to Canada and volunteer in schools in small, isolated, First Nations, communities in the north of Canada.
We currently have two positions available on our projects, one in the community of Fort Providence and one in the community of Wrigley. Both of these projects would involve our volunteers working in the school as tutors and teaching assistants and helping out in many different capacities.
These positions are available immediately and unfortunately will only be available to Canadian applicants as our overseas volunteers are required to obtain a work visa which generally takes from two to four months.
Frontiers Foundation covers all of the volunteer's travel within Canada and all of the food and living expenses are covered. The volunteer is also provided with winter clothing suitable for the north and a small living allowance of fifty dollars a week for pocket money.
This is a truly unique opportunity to learn about another culture and way of life while living and working in a First Nations community. The communities in which we work suffer from severe social problems and this is a very challenging position. We are looking for volunteers who are willing and able to meet these challenges and deal with these adversities.
