[Report] PROMOTING AND ENCOURAGING INTERGENERATIONAL VOLUNTEERISM, June 2024
Over the course of three meetings, the House of Commons Standing Committee on Human Resources, Skills and Social Development and the Status of Persons with Disabilities heard from organizations that recruit volunteers, or that promote and advance volunteerism, about ways that the federal government can encourage intergenerational volunteerism between youth and seniors.
In this report, the Committee summarizes key testimony it received and makes recommendations to the federal government on how it can better facilitate intergenerational volunteering in Canada, including through the development of a national volunteer action strategy, data, investment in intergenerational volunteering through new or existing programming, support for volunteers and awareness.
