Canadian- and foreign-born volunteers have contributed to the settlement of newcomers into Canadian society. Despite their important contribution, little has been reported about the experiences and perspectives of these volunteers. Using the information collected from face-to-face interviews with 60 Canadian- and foreign-born volunteers who support newcomers, this article discusses factors that motivate people to volunteer with newcomers. The study results revealed among other findings that (1) to become a volunteer, one not only needs to be motivated but also needs to believe that volunteering will produce the expected positive results and to have confidence in one’s ability to complete the assigned tasks, (2) once people become volunteers, the experience of volunteering tests their perceived self-efficacy and their belief about the effectiveness of their volunteer work. Success or failure in their expectations influences their decision to continue or discontinue their volunteer work. RESUME De nombreux benevoles nes au Canada et a l’etranger contribuent a l’integration de nouveaux venus dans la societe canadienne. Malgre leurs contributions importantes, il y a peu d’ecrits sur les experiences et perspectives de ces benevoles. Cet article se fonde sur des entrevues face a face avec soixante benevoles nes au Canada ou a l’etranger afin de mieux comprendre ce qui les motive a aider les nouveaux venus. Les resultats revelent entre autres que (1) pour devenir benevole, non seulement faut-il etre motive mais il faut aussi croire que le benevolat entrainera bien les effets positifs escomptes et etre confiant de son aptitude a accomplir les tâches assignees et (2) l’experience du benevolat met a l’epreuve la perception de sa propre efficacite et l’impression qu’on a de la valeur de son travail benevole. Le succes ou l’echec de ces attentes a une influence sur la decision de continuer a faire du benevolat ou non.
