In this episode of Conversations with Neighbours, host Myles Doak sits down with David Silverman and Aleli Gulak to discuss the Richmond Hill Mentoring Plus Strategy.
Created as part of Richmond Hill’s Age-Friendly Strategy, this initiative connects retired and near-retired adults aged 55+ with individuals and businesses seeking guidance, mentorship, and support. By drawing on the experience, knowledge, and skills of older adults, the program helps foster personal growth, career exploration, and economic development while encouraging civic participation and reducing social isolation.
David and Aleli share how the program is creating meaningful volunteer opportunities and strengthening the community by making Richmond Hill a more inclusive, accessible, and welcoming place for people of all ages and abilities.
