| Magic Moments
Inter-generational mentorship program matches an adult volunteer
with a child. Building a positive
new friendship strengthens a child’s self-esteem and school
performance, and provides a Mentor with the chance to re-experience the
adventure of childhood.
Seniors have the opportunity to
share their skills and life experiences with a younger generation while remaining active and involved in their community. Seniors
positively impact the lives of children who may not have the
opportunity to spend time with older adults. The sharing of life
experiences and values enhances the lives of children.

This program is a true partnership between the
local school board, Seniors’ communities and the Big Brothers and
Sisters agency. The school board allows breaks from regular
programming for children to take part. Seniors’/retiree groups and
associations promote the program to their peers through presentations
and encourage participation in the program.
