"Watching the collaborative communication that takes place between our youth and the seniors as they interact is a truly heartening experience. It provides an opportunity for our young people to appreciate the stories, viewpoints, and experiences of our senior community members while practicing communication skill sets that increase empathy, patience, and curiosity.”

“It’s been great to see people break outside of their shell. People have these preconceived notions about what the workshop is going to be like and it’s been awesome to see people challenge themselves and push themselves in a creative manner.”
Staff
“It’s interesting because they are older than you so the things that you are freaking out about now they can give advice on. It’s nice to hear their stories and it helps you look forward to your own future.”
