Created in 2018, Linking Generations is pleased to offer the Volunteer Grandparent Program, this initiative which offers seniors more opportunities to help bridge the multi-generational gap. The Volunteer Grandparent Program was created in response to a lack of opportunities for young and older generations to relate in an increasingly age-segregated society.
Schools currently include:
In Sherwood Park:
- Brentwood Elementary
- Davidson Creek Elementary
- Ecole Pere Kenneth Kearns Elementary
- Heritage Hills Elementary
- Holy Spirit Catholic Elementary

In Fort Saskatchewan:

As a charitable organization, Linking Generations provides mentored and structured visits aimed at building relationships between seniors and youth in our community. The program brings generations together so they can share their knowledge and life experiences, and encourages volunteering and social responsibility in youth.
