Senior Services/Friendly Visitor Program - Project LIFE SLAt — The Good Works Institute

The program matches young adult volunteers with seniors for weekly one-hour visits in order to create connections that span different age groups. Project Life is mutually beneficial, as it provides older adults with someone to keep them company while also giving younger adults a new perspective on aging and a generous purpose that allows them to give back to earlier generations.

Service learners will complete 26 hours of service - 1 hour a week for 10 weeks of direct visit time with one older adult and other peers. The visitation groups go over discussion topics and engage in conversations together. Service learners write a visit summary after each visit as well as engaging in 2 hours of training and completing pre and post surveys.
