Activities are designed to ensure that interactions are positive; that the ‘pairings’ between seniors and students are compatible; and that ongoing support is available.  This year, there are 109 student volunteers from five different Senior High Schools in Calgary.

Students typically visit after school hours and on the weekends and they are encouraged to provide true companionship for their senior.   Students receive a higher level of training and our program staff provide ongoing information, support and advice as necessary.
