SENIORS PROJECT

Project Lead: Helen Baum

Project Team: Ellen Barnett

Project Intern: Zain Hussain

Description: In partnership with Sebastopol Area Senior Center (SASC), the project will identify a need among seniors, create an opportunity to address that need, start a pilot project related to the identified need, and make revisions as seen fit. To address the guiding principles for GHAC as soon as feasible the Senior Project will reach out to engage isolated and more marginalized seniors to hear and address their needs

Goals

  • Identify goals from the SASC members as a beginning for the Senior

Project.

  • Identify goals for/from isolated and at-risk seniors.

  • Create projects to address needs.

  • Establish more partnerships with local agencies and individuals for projects addressing seniors’ needs.

Progress: The initial project addressed the felt need for seniors to get help in the use of technology (cell phones and tablets). Helen reached out to Analy High School teacher and arranged for a group of students to come to SASC to ‘help’ the Seniors with Tech issues. The meeting was held and as a result, a different direction for the Senior Project emerged. The second phase of the Senior Project for 2023 was to simply continue the talking between Seniors and High School students.
