The Wisdom Exchange Project is a social connection program that connects graduate students and postdoctoral fellows with older adults in Ontario and Quebec. Intergenerational friendships can be rewarding and meaningful for both older and younger generations, but it can be difficult to forge intergenerational connections beyond one’s immediate family. This program aims to facilitate the initial connections and then let the magic happen. Once enrolled in the program, students and older adults will be paired based on preferences collected in partner intake forms (e.g. common languages, hobbies). After being matched, partners will be introduced to each other by program administrators and can continue to connect on their own terms.

Please note: When completing the questionnaire, all questions with an asterisk are mandatory.
