LINKages has joined forces with some amazing volunteers at Bow Valley College. We asked the BVC Cares volunteers about their experience and this is what they said!

Best Practices for Intergenerational Mentoring: A Conversation with LINKages

This summer, LINKages had the opportunity to partner with Alberta Mentoring Partnership. As the global ageing population continues to grow, the need for increased intergenerational engagement and community will also continue to grow. How can you support your youth and senior mentors to share their gifts and experiences across generations?

LINKages in action

"LINKages gives me a sense of purpose. I am so grateful for the program. It helps me feel like I belong."

"I lived with my grandmother until I was 12, and then I moved to Canada. I don't see her anymore. My senior friend is like my grandmother; she is my mentor."

"LINKages gives me a purpose for living. These are my girls; I look forward to seeing them every week. The girls are like my granddaughters."
