Our Vision
Our mission is to create a volunteer organization that connects youth and the elderly populations in Newfoundland and Labrador through meaningful in-person interactions. Our goal is to bridge the gap between generations and foster a sense of community that is united by shared values and traditions. We recognize the growing concern about the loss of cultural traditions and values in Newfoundland and Labrador and the isolation experienced by many seniors in our communities. We believe that bringing these two groups together will help address these challenges and create a brighter future for everyone.

What We Are Striving For In Newfoundland
- To recruit and train youth volunteers who are passionate about working with seniors.
​
- To establish partnerships with local senior retirement homes in order to provide volunteer opportunities for our members.
​
- To provide various activities and events, such as arts and crafts, board games, and other recreational activities, for the seniors.
​
- To promote intergenerational understanding and empathy through our volunteer program.
How Volunteering With Connecting Generations Can Make A Difference
Our primary goal is to reduce social isolation and loneliness among seniors in senior retirement homes. We aim to achieve this by providing opportunities for meaningful social interactions between youth volunteers and seniors. Through our volunteer program, we hope to create a sense of community and belonging for both the youth and the seniors.
