Where seniors and youth build relationships that enrich their lives and enhance their communities.

Become a Linking Generations School Grandparent

It doesn’t take much to be a part of your community. It can start by visiting a school classroom.

As a Linking Generations School Grandparent, you will be joining a growing number of women and men who are dedicated to building strong communities through inter-generational connections.

The Linking Generations Grandparent program welcomes your interest if you:

• Are 55+ and live in the area
• Have a desire to share skills, knowledge, and life experience in a school classroom
• Can share 1-3 hours per month
• Can commit for at least one full school year (October- April)
• Have your own transportation

If you or a Senior Family member is interested in volunteering, please email Debbie Sinclair; Executive Director; Linking Generations at linkgendebbie@telus.net or check out Linking Generations website at www.linkinggenerations.ca
