The Family Match Program matches volunteers with families who have children between the ages of 3 and 14 years old and who do not have accessible grandparents. The program is designed to meet the social and emotional needs of older adults and families. The emphasis is on the creation of long term extended family relationships. The program has been providing seniors with the opportunity to be an important member of a family, enabling them to share time, love, skills and life experiences, while offering families the support, love and wisdom of caring seniors. Currently the Family Match Program is offered in the Metro Vancouver area.
Become a Volunteer Grandparent
Share family occasions, explore, and be a part of your community with a grandchild. Become a single grandparent or volunteer with your spouse or partner. It doesn’t matter if you have grandchildren or not – what matters is that you care and you want to be involved in your community. As a Volunteer Grandparent, you will be joining a growing number of women and men who are dedicated to building strong communities through intergenerational connections. Applications are accepted throughout the year from individuals and couples. The Family Match program welcomes your interest if you:
