Age Friendly London Network - Leisure Buddy Program
The Leisure Buddy Program, or “Leisure Buddies”, is an initiative created and lead by the Inclusion and Belonging Working Group of the Age Friendly London Network and Child and Youth Network Community Plan. This program will match a volunteer or “Buddy” with an older adult Participant who faces barriers to social participation. The Buddy and Participant will be supported to participate in social, recreational, or leisure activities of the Participant’s choice that are approved by the Project Team.
Eligibility and requirements:
The Leisure Buddy volunteer role has been created to support the implementation of the Leisure Buddy Program. The purpose of the Leisure Buddy Program is to support social participation and inclusion of older adults by overcoming barriers to participation in social and recreational programs in the community.
This Buddy will assist their participant in joining and integrating into community programs. Each Buddy and participant will attend a program of the participant’s choice. Buddies will support their participant by attending programs with them until the participants feel comfortable and confident to attend on their own.
Once the participant has successfully integrated into a community program, they will be discharged from the Buddy Program and the Buddy will be matched with a new participant. If a participant needs more time to transition to a community program the Buddy will be expected to continue to attend programs with their participant for a minimum of six months and up to a maximum of one year. With the help of the Project Team, the Buddy will provide support as needed to ensure a smooth transition into appropriate programs in the community.
Time commitment: Buddies are expected to commit to 3-5 hours a week.
Buddies must complete a training and screening process prior to beginning their volunteer role. Buddies are expected to commit to this volunteer role for at least six months to one year.

WILL Employment Solutions
Mock interviewers:
As a part of its Employment Preparation Program for Internationally Trained Individuals, WILL Employment Solutions offers clients the opportunity to experience a mock interview to practice interview skills and to receive constructive feedback from experienced interviewers. These clients are well-qualified internationally trained professionals and the mock interview is a powerful and positive experience for them.
In order to make this as realistic an experience as possible, we recruit volunteer mock interviewers from the community. We like to have people with hiring authority from businesses/organizations in Southwestern Ontario or experience in a position of hiring influence, but ultimately, we are looking for people with experience as a Canadian interviewer.
Mentorship program:
The program: Our mentorship program brings together job-ready immigrants with volunteer mentors who work in their desired field in Southwestern Ontario. Upon referral to/commencement of the program, our mentees are considered “job ready” and therefore assists in ensuring that the mentorship is focused on high-level professional development.
This includes responsibilities for the mentor such as: sharing industry-specific knowledge and expertise, providing advice and tips for job searching in Ontario, sharing their own pathway and career development story, and helping the mentee to network. It is not expected of the mentor to find or offer the mentee a job. The purpose of the mentorship is for the mentee to learn more about the industry, build relationships and gain confidence - related to the Canadian workplace.
WILL Employment Solutions’ clients are internationally trained professionals seeking jobs relative to their professional backgrounds and experience. We will be thrilled connect employers with our talented clients which will hopefully be beneficial for both the parties.
Requirements for Mock Interviewers: Hiring and interviewing experience
Requirements for Mentors: Our mentors must have Canadian experience in their field and must be able to commit to meeting with their mentee for a total of 24 hours over a four-month period. The program is designed to be flexible, thus leaving both parties to decide on the frequency and method in which the meetings take place (virtual, in person, weekly, bi-weekly etc.)
The 4-month period serves as the timeframe which the mentorship team is available to provide support as needed. Additionally, the mentorship advisor will conduct a formal mid-way check-in and a wrap-up debrief post completion of the program. Mentors are provided with orientation session and a handbook to help them as they mentor the mentee.
