Video Grant Spotlight: Sages & Seekers
May 20, 2019
Sages & Seekers is an eight-week program that pairs students with older adults to share life experiences, practice writing and public speaking skills, and build friendships.
During the program, facilitators actively work to challenge age-related stereotypes on both sides. As a result, older adults find themselves seeing the younger generation in a more optimistic way, while students who may not regularly interact with older adults find them to have more exciting life stories than they thought possible.
