CANADIAN-COMMUNITY SUPPORT

CANADIAN-COMMUNITY SUPPORT

CAN-mUNITY is an initiative of MoM aimed at connecting Canadian and international communities through our volunteer program.

It is an opportunity for those who are unable to volunteer, to support those who have chosen to give two years of their life to developing communities. CAN-mUNITY provides an opportunity for Canadians to benefit from the experience of volunteers and other cultures.

CAN-mUNITY provides most of the financial support required to keep a volunteer in placement for two years. MoM can place a teacher in Dominican Republic for two years by raising as little as $13,250 through CAN-mUNITY Support.

Compare this amount to what this teacher would earn over two years in Canada and the value is obvious. CAN-mUNITY contributions are spent only on program costs (all administration costs will be covered by grants from our Canadian international Volunteer Network (CIVN)), so you know that your money is used wisely.

In addition, Can-mUNITY contributes to long-term sustainability for the overseas communities hosting a volunteer. By exchanging skills, MoM's volunteers reduce the community's dependence on future aid.
