We collaborate with public and private senior housing buildings, senior centers, assisted living facilities and nursing homes as well as local colleges and universities to bring students and older adults together in friendship. Our core program, CitySites, brings older and younger participants together on a weekly basis for formal and informal programming to build mutually-beneficial relationships where everyone is welcome to teach, learn, give, receive, and enjoy life. |
