Elder Mentorship Program Expansion

May 30, 2025 Senior citizens participating in mentorship program

We are excited to announce the expansion of our mentorship program to support 100 additional senior citizens, bringing guidance, connection, and new opportunities to older adults in our community. This initiative, launched on May 30, 2025, aims to empower seniors by providing tailored mentorship in key areas such as technology, wellness, and social engagement.

Why Support Senior Citizens?

Older adults bring a wealth of experience and wisdom to our communities, yet many face challenges like social isolation, limited access to technology, or difficulty navigating modern resources. Our expanded mentorship program addresses these needs by connecting seniors with trained mentors who offer personalized support.

Program Highlights

  • Digital Literacy: Mentors teach seniors how to use smartphones, tablets, and apps like video calls or social media to stay connected with family and friends.
  • Wellness Support: Workshops focus on mental and physical health, offering guidance on stress management, nutrition, and staying active.
  • Community Engagement: Group activities and storytelling sessions help seniors build social bonds and share their experiences with others.
  • Personalized Mentorship: Each senior is paired with a mentor who provides one-on-one support tailored to their unique needs and interests.

Impact and Goals

The program’s expansion will reach 150 more seniors across local communities, fostering a sense of belonging and empowerment. Early feedback from participants highlights improved confidence in using technology and stronger community ties. Our goal is to reduce isolation, enhance quality of life, and celebrate the contributions of older adults.
