📝 Detailed information
🏢 About the local organisation

💼 What the programme involves
Legacy Ignite welcomes retirees, semi-retirees and experienced
professionals aged 50 and above. Participants, called Legacy
Champions, contribute virtually, in person or through a hybrid
arrangement. Their role is designed around their expertise,
interests, availability, and a practical need identified by CYA or a
community partner.
Role Design & Participation
Every Legacy Ignite placement begins with a role-design
conversation. CYA and the participant identify the organisation or
community need, expected contribution, working method,
support arrangements, and practical outputs. This prevents broad
advisory assignments that do not lead to useful results

resilience, and leadership
