INTERGENERATIONAL HEALTH & SOCIAL PROGRAM

Bridging youth and seniors, fostering connection in our communities.

ABOUT PROGRAM

BCRC’s Intergenerational Program is meant to brighten the lives of our seniors and reduce the social isolation many are facing at this time. As a result of the current Covid-19 pandemic, many seniors and youth have been experiencing social isolation and loneliness.

To help resolve this issue, the BCRC created an Intergenerational program which will give Black youth and seniors the opportunity to connect while participating in fun engaging workshops online. We believe that both youth and seniors have a wealth of knowledge to share. We wish to increase young people’s understanding of aging issues, bring together generations and restore the role of elders as leaders in the Black community.

Adopt a Grandma
Introducing our heartwarming Adopt a Grandma Program initiated in 2023. This transformative program forges meaningful intergenerational connections, uniting Black seniors with immigrant families across Quebec. Our mission is to cultivate warmth within these bonds through a curated range of engaging activities. Beyond that, the program serves as a beacon, breaking through social isolation barriers and empowering our revered seniors with leadership roles. Their invaluable guidance aids newcomers in navigating the intricate complexities of the Quebec system. Join us in creating a supportive community, fostering connections, and making a lasting impact with BCRC’s Adopt A Grandma program. The BCRC’s Adopted Grandma program is still actively recruiting. Come be a part of something meaningful! Together let’s build bridges break barriers and make a positive difference.
