A Chapter Lead at Grandparents’ Diary (GPD) is responsible for partnering with a local senior home to bring the poetry-writing program to their community and recruiting a small volunteer team (3–5 members) to run weekly sessions. GPD provides all the training, guides, and resources needed, such as how to approach senior homes, lead sessions, and manage the program. We also encourage Chapter Leads to create their own initiatives that strengthen intergenerational connection!
Why should you volunteer for this opportunity?
Grandparents' Diary is expanding across Ontario and beyond, giving volunteers the chance to take on real leadership roles that have genuine impact. You join a growing global network of motivated students working together to preserve seniors' stories. Our alumni have gone on to T20 American universities including Harvard, showing how this experience can open doors to elite schools.
