By drawing on the experience, knowledge, and skills of older adults, the program helps foster personal growth, career exploration, and economic development while encouraging civic participation and reducing social isolation.David and Aleli share how the program is creating meaningful volunteer opportunities and strengthening the community by making Richmond Hill a more inclusive, accessible, and welcoming place for people of all ages and abilities.
