Prince Edward Island Branch (CPF PEI)

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;

Newsletter Editor - help put together articles for the Branch newsletter, help stuff it into envelopes for mailings or start a Chapter newsletter of your own.

Join the Provincial Board - be part of the advocacy efforts for better programs or help lobby to start new French Immersion, Intensive French programs in schools

Committee Chairs and members - want to reach more members? Recruit volunteers? Develop new activities? All these volunteer “Jobs” are required to make your child’s French learning experience a valuable and rewarding one.

Be a CPF representative at functions - CPF display opportunities i.e. Chamber of Commerce, Home & School Annual Meeting, Meet the Teacher Night / Carrefour functions / other organizations events - usually 2 or 3 hours (not always necessary that you speak French).

Training Modules - CPF PEI has developed training modules to help volunteers manage meetings, recruit volunteers and more. Click here to see the list and access the modules.
