Promise 5 - Teen Talent Troupe
The idea of providing opportunities for youth to serve by entertaining senior citizens at their place of residence was conceived in l999 by volunteer parents, Mindy Dolandis and Elaine Sussman. Through word-of-mouth and local news items, the troupe grew and matured. This intergenerational exchange continues to be popular with both seniors and youth. The program is now completing its third year and is being managed by Coordinator of Intergenerational Programs and a parent assistant. The goal is to place thirteen (13) talents in up to five (5) residential homes twice a month. Click here for Monthly Calendar of Service Opportunities.
