Another key component of the centre is the Generation to Generation (Tree of Life) project for immigrant youth. In this one-year oral history program, youth interview elderly immigrants from local seniors’ homes, create a computerized family tree, document their life stories and produce biographical films.

In addition, the centre runs a Learning Enrichment Centre that provides neighborhood children with the opportunity to improve English skills, general tutoring and preparation for matriculation examinations.
