According to a 2010 survey by Statistics Canada, 45% of people who don’t volunteer are not involved with an organization – simply because no one asks them to.
So we at CPF are asking you to come volunteer with us!
Volunteers are the key to our success. Without them, we wouldn’t be able to carry out our mission of giving young people the opportunity to learn both of Canada’s official languages.
Whether joining your local CPF chapter, helping out with youth activities, reaching other parents through information sessions or doing advocacy work, there’s always something for everyone.
Canadian Parents for French is a nationwide, research-informed, volunteer organization that furthers bilingualism by promoting opportunities to learn and use French for all those who call Canada home.
CPF was founded in 1977 by parents who wanted to ensure that children would have the opportunity to become bilingual in the Canadian school system. Originally a small group of concerned parents who met in Ottawa, CPF has evolved into a proactive national network with 10 branch offices and over 150 chapters in communities nationwide.
