Board of Directors

“I am passionate about translating medical knowledge into practice for seniors, particularly in terms of mobility and healthy active aging. There is no better way to create an impact in this area than to work firsthand to improve the quality of care among seniors in our community.”

“Supporting seniors through NYSC is a way to create meaningful change and ensure our community thrives across generations. By fostering senior empowerment and dignity, I hope to contribute to a future where every senior can lead a rich and fulfilling life with the respect and independence they deserve.”

“I believe in the old adage, ‘In life, it is not what you get that matters, it is what you give. What a wonderful way it is to give through being involved as a volunteer Director with the NYSC, an organization that supports seniors, living in our community, in so many very positive ways.”

“No one should face challenges alone. A network of community agencies and support systems stands ready to welcome, empower, and uplift those in need.”

“It is an honour for me to volunteer with NYSC, as it is important to give back to the older generations who have contributed so much to our society, as well as the community I grew up and currently reside in.”

“By volunteering on the Board I help ensure that there are programs and places for seniors to go to remain vital, healthy and connected to their community; there is no greater feeling than that.”

“Every person is a castle, with rooms that holdmemories, traits, and turning points. As we age, many of us stop invitingothers in—sometimes withdrawing so far we become places no one visits anymore.But every home, no matter how quiet, still deserves company. Volunteeringallows me to offer that presence—while keeping the doors open in my own hometoo. It’s a quiet ritual of connection, humility, and belonging.”

“I am deeply passionate about giving back to my community. As a young adult, I actively participated in various community initiatives through my local church, but life became quite busy as I focused on raising three young children. Now that my children are older, I am grateful for the opportunity to serve again, especially with NYSC, an organization I truly value for the services it offers to our senior community members.”

“The process of aging is as old as time; approaches to aging are diverse. Since, as time passes, we all must age in diverse ways: I am privileged to share my time, skills, knowledge and talents with the NYSC board.”

“I volunteer with the NYSC to help seniors live actively and independently for as long as possible. This is a reality I want to see happen for all seniors, including my own family and friends.”

We all want our parents, grandparents, andone day, ourselves and our children, to have access to excellent care and theability to age with dignity. I truly believe change starts with each of us;when we step forward to volunteer, contribute, and give what we can, we canchange the world together.

“I aspire to provide a space for clients and their family members where they feel loved and cared for. Intertwined with this goal is ensuring staff feel valued and appreciated for their services.”
