🏢 About the local organisation

Le Quartier des générations is an innovative and community-oriented seniors’ residence. It allows people from different generations to meet thanks to its collective spaces, unifying activities and different housing types. With its unique approach, the organization wants to inspire other senior living environments across Quebec!

💼 What the programme involves

To be a volunteer camp co-leader is: • To be responsible for the supervision and realisation of a volunteer wok project in collaboration with another leader ; • To assist a group of a dozen young volunteers coming from different countries and help them complete their project ; • To establish a good relationship between the volunteers, the local host and the local community. The ideal arrival is June 12th, in order to attend the training and to be there for the preparation days taking place that week. The volunteer will be co-leader on Montreal volunteer camp until July 1st. [The Quartier des générations wants to revitalize its site. Volunteers will do landscaping and build various equipment to improve the available services and activities. They will also participate in many social events alongside the elderly, where volunteers and participants can share life stories.]

🏠 Accommodation on site

Volunteers will be sleeping in a brand new community room. They will have access to a cafeteria on week days but will have to cook their own meals on weekends.
