Reading Buddies Project
This program will match elders-- many who are isolated in their homes due to the coronavirus pandemic-- with school age children. It will promote wellness for the elders by giving them a purpose and providing some cognitive stimulation, of listening to new topics.
Elders can benefit the youth with not only reading but also relationships, as the youth will have the opportunity to develop greater social emotional learning through interacting across the generations. These rich experiences have the potential to cultivate compassion for differences, illness and aging.
