Family Match Program

The Family Match Program matches volunteers with families who have children between the ages of 3 and 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. Currently the Family Match Program is offered in the Metro Vancouver area.
