We create relationships between Â鶹ÊÓƵ students and elders. We foster intergenerational learning and support that enriches campus and community life.
We match with elder partners. We enjoy regular visits, shared activities, and meaningful conversations. We break down age barriers while providing companionship and support. We also organize group events, holiday celebrations, and service projects.
The Elders program allows you to choose your level of commitment through weekly activities and monthly events.
The application process includes a background check and training. Contact the Community Engagement specialist in the Campus Activities Office to begin the matching process.
