How It Works
Mission
Provide students with opportunities to serve, ease senior isolation, and help with tuition assistance.
- Students are paired with a senior(55+) in their community. This person must be cognitively able to participate and willing to share their time. They cannot be related to the student at all.
- Students and mentors meet for one hour, once per week with parent supervision.
- Students develop their relationship with their mentor through time spent each week. This could be helping around their house, reading together, crafting, learning a skill or playing games. Activities are chosen by each pair.
- 70% of this program is funded by SFFC Foundation / 30% is funded through our local fundraising. For SAE this is stadium clean up.
