Rich Kapolka spent many years in and around the education system, before retiring two years ago.

Now Kapolka says, Executive Director of Connecting Generations, was an offer he couldn't refuse.

Kapolka: "I was ready for a transition. I've worked with youth and adults my entire life. When I saw the ad in the paper I just got really excited about the potential to work with children and adults again."

Connecting Generations, a non-profit organization, in Wilmington provides creative programs to teach children and adults about bullying, respect and life's transitions.

Kapolka: "Mentoring, 'Creative Transitions' for adults who are moving from workplace into retirement or other transitions. The third one is 'Seasons of Respect,' in-class workshops to fifth grade students basically to help to teach children how to creatively behave with respect."

Kapolka says it's one of the only non-profit organizations looking to offer mentoring studies to any volunteer who wants to apply.
