Working with the Elderly

  • Intergenerational Learning.

Working with the Elderly is a 2-hour training that prepares participants with the knowledge and approaches to enter into facilities and relationships with elderly people. This training is highly recommended for all new volunteers with Elderly programs.

This training will tentatively be on February 10th, 2024.

In this training, we will reflect on what it means to serve with the elderly, discuss issues of safety and confidentiality, review resources that are available to volunteers, and create a set of tools for successful weekly sessions with our elderly participants.

 

Poem by a volunteer reflecting on service:
"Elderly Affairs at PBHA helped me pave the way
 
quirky, humanity, love,
 
and impacted lives,
 
heart-lifting live-changing experience,
 
helped me to realize world is good,
 
has brought smiling faces,
 
the residents are past, present and future together.
 
They appreciate us."
