In Norwell, we had a student that was a Democrat and the senior was a Republican. They both agreed to disagree and they had some great conversations. |
They both discovered they had once visited the same restaurant in Mexico when they were on their respective vacations. |
We have 10 students and seniors signed up for the program. Most of the students taking part are girls. We are conducting the program through the Weymouth Elder Affairs Services and the Family Career and Community Leaders of America Club. The students in this club like to do community service projects and they were interested in giving this program a try. |
You might have a senior that loves to read and they might share an appreciation of an author's work with a student. In Hanover we had a young man who likes history and he was matched up with a senior who has lived through several wars. |
