Seeking Seniors to Become a Pen Pal for a Youth - Must live in Canada

/ monthly
minimum 6 month commitment
The Volunteer Grandparents Organization initiated a new program aiding the creation of intergenerational connections within the community in a safe and engaging manner.

Our new program called Letters to Seniors involves connecting seniors and youth in a pen pal relationship.   This program involves sending letters back and forth and discussing interests, hobbies, etc. 

We are seeking more seniors to sign up for our pen pal program as we have many youth expressing an interest in having a senior pen pal. 

All letters are reviewed through our office before being forwarded along to the pen pal recipient.  

For more information on how to get involved,  please e-mail info@volunteergrandparents.ca
Why should you volunteer for this opportunity?
Develop a special bond with a youth through letter writing. Learn new things and share your skills and insight.  Help a youth feel more connected to their community while decreasing any sense of isolation you may be experiencing.
