About Empower Connections

Thanks to successful funding, we’re launching Empowering Connections: Supporting Community Inclusion of Older CALD and LGBTQIA+ Volunteers.

This project is dedicated to creating more opportunities for older volunteers from Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CaLD) and LGBTQIA+ backgrounds. We understand that language barriers, cultural differences, and other challenges can sometimes make it difficult to connect. That’s why this initiative will focus on breaking down barriers, fostering inclusion, and helping our volunteers feel valued and supported within their communities.

Who is this for?

🌟 People aged 55+ who are passionate about supporting their community

🌟 Volunteers or community members interested in connecting with others and sharing ideas

🌟 Anyone committed to creating an inclusive and supportive environment for CALD and LGBTI+ seniors

Why join us?

🌟 Connect with like-minded individuals.

🌟 Share insights and experiences to enhance volunteer opportunities.

🌟 Collaborate on meaningful projects that support seniors in our community.
