As part of this year’s campaign to showcase wonderful community initiatives across Canada, this month, Compassionate Community Care is sharing with you an exciting example of senior-youth involvement. A great way to get young people engaged in the community is to motivate them to volunteer with seniors as part of a Youth-Senior Gift Exchange. What does that mean? Weekly visits from a youth volunteer to listen, learn, and befriend a senior in the community for them to listen, learn and provide practical skills to assist the elderly they visit.

Join St John the Compassionate Mission and St Mary Refuge for this wonderful opportunity!
