Volunteer Grandparents provides two main programs: the Family Match Program and the School Grandparent Program. The Family Match Program matches volunteers with families who have children between the ages of 3 – 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. The School Grandparent Program (SGP) provides volunteers for assignments in elementary schools throughout the Lower Mainland. The SGP began as a pilot project, in 1996, in response to a lack of opportunities for young and old to relate in an increasingly age-segregated society.
