Seniors and Kids Intergenerational Program

Description
My partner and I meet with our senior friends at a retirement home every other Friday. There are a variety of activities we do for our meetings, such as sharing personal experiences, playing board games, and friendly competitions with other seniors and students.

Outcomes:

-          shown perseverance and commitment : been a volunteer from the beginning of grade 11 to present.

-          considered ethical implications of my action: respecting and caring for the elders. Encouraging them to live their life with joy even if their health condition is not the best.

-           engage global issue: there is a large number of aging population in the world, I believe that one should learn to care for the elders,  and integrate them into our society.

-          planned and initiated activities: for some of the meetings, my partner and I would plan out the activities we will be doing with our seniors in advance.
-           Integration of service and creativity.
