The Sparking Change Senior Champions program offers Metro Vancouver seniors training and support to host social activities in parks and green spaces.

Senior Leaders will receive:

• – $600 honorarium  
• – One half-day training workshop
• – Access to resources
• – Ongoing support from Park People staff
• – Mentorship from a previous senior leader
• – Seed funding towards materials, guest speakers, or refreshments for your park events
