Do I have to be a resident of Canada to become a CWW volunteer?
You can live anywhere in the world to become a CWW volunteer. CWW has had volunteers in Australia, Portugal, the USA, Canada, and more!
How often and for how long do I need to be available to volunteer?
Volunteers have the flexibility to choose their availability, including when, how often, and for how long they wish to participate. However, to foster strong student-teacher connections, CWW recommends a commitment of at least 3 to 4 months, with volunteers ideally dedicating one 60 min session per week. This approach aligns with our emphasis on building meaningful relationships within the program.
Where is CWW's main office located?
CWW does not have a physical office, but the address associated with its charitable status is in Alberta, Canada.
Does CWW's volunteer work stop during the summer months?
It doesn’t. Children and Youth in conflict zones need to be supported year around.
How does CWW protect its students?
CWW takes child protection seriously. Should any of our students be at risk of emotional and/or physical abuse, CWW will immediately inform local authorities such as City Police Services who in turn will communicate with the RCMP and their international partners. In addition, all our sessions are always supervised by a CWW host.
