Seniors & Sprouts Volunteer

From little things, big things grow.

Enjoy the rewarding experience of participating in a kindergarten program for 4-year-olds.

Our expanded Seniors and Sprouts program invites senior residents to spend an hour a week with a kindergarten class to promote social engagement and community connections.

Research shows intergenerational activities foster mutual respect, compassion, and empathy. Young children develop greater social acceptance, while seniors enjoy improved quality of life, cognitive health, and reduced social isolation. It’s a win-win that combats ageism, promotes mental health, and strengthens community ties.

Requirements:

  • Age 65+
  • Working with Children Check (free for volunteers)
  • Attend an information session, prior to the commencement of the program
 
Time commitments:
 
A 90-minute information session will be held in early October.
 
The sessions are 1 hour per week for 7 weeks, programs commencing mid-October 2026.
