At the heart of 'Caledon Community Services' (CCS) is an innovative and exciting volunteer program that is integrated into every service, activity, project and business operation of the agency. From students to seniors, business professionals, homemakers, newly-retired, semi-retired, and everything in between, volunteers reflect the Caledon demographic and help us serve the community more fully.LINC (Language Instruction for Newcomers to Canada) is a Government of Canada funded program, locally administered by CCS, that focuses on NEWCOMERS to the Caledon area. The fundamental, functional goal of this program is to have participants improve fluency in the English language. Additional benefits include orientation of newcomers to Caledon, and building awareness of Canada's culture and channels for networking and social integration.In this program, volunteers are encouraged to be multi-faceted in their approach to language instruction, supplementing formal instruction by interactive conversation that incorporates the benefits noted above.
