Our key objectives for the program include:

Belong

To build a personal and emotional connection with the participants.

Connect

To link generations together in a program that offer social, artistic, cultural, civic and recreational experiences accessible to all.

Share

An opportunity for generations to share their ideas, dreams, and stories with each other in a safe and respectful environment.

Learn

A chance to embrace our diversity in activities that break down the myths and stereotypes that result from societal separation of the generations.

Celebrate

An event to celebrate the many gifts and talents of our program participants, together with the entire family and community.

As a result of this intergenerational volunteer program not only do participating seniors, younger people benefit, but this initiative will also have a positive community-wide impact as we build strong, healthy and resilient neighbourhoods with each generations caring for each other. By working together, young persons and older adults facilitate community collaboration, pooling of resources and cooperative problem-solving. All participants learn from and respect each other’s traditions and stories and learn to value and accept diverse communities and gain awareness about issues affecting multiple generations. Programs enhance the ability of both public and private agencies to meet the needs of youth and elders.
