WorkLink Employment Society in the Westshore is hoping to spread the word about our new Inter-Gen Connects Mentorship Program.

Inter-Gen Connects Mentors is a free six-week program pairing seniors 55+ with youth 15-30 for technology mentoring, socialization, improving inter-generational literacy, and meaningful relationship building.

Youth Program Benefits:

Learn valuable life experience from seniors
Build meaningful connections
Gain volunteer experience in the community
Mentors will receive a letter of reference at the program’s end

We are currently recruiting seniors and youth for the upcoming cohort starting Wednesday, August 11th. The location of this first cohort is at our Westshore office, 3179 Jacklin Road.

If you know a youth 15-30 interested in being a mentor to a senior this summer please contact Janet at jsout...@worklink.bc.ca
