Introducing Creativity Connects! Little Brothers - Friends of the Elderly (LBFE) just launched Creativity Connects, a vibrant new program that invites you to make a meaningful impact while exploring their own creative passions. This initiative, in collaboration with Openhouse, an LGBTQ organization that serves older adults, pairs 1-2 volunteers with an older adult for a unique intergenerational experience. What’s in Store? Participants will collaborate on a creative project-think collages, photography, music, and more! Each volunteer will meet with their paired older adult 6-8 times over two months, fostering connections that go beyond the surface. The joy of creativity is not just in the projects; it’s in the bonds formed and the stories shared. Why Get Involved? Creativity Connects is more than just an art project; it’s a chance to enrich lives. Through this program, participants can expect: Enhanced Well-Being: Creativity brings joy and boosts mental health. A Sense of Belonging: Intergenerational connections foster community and understanding. Personal Growth: Volunteers gain valuable experiences while building confidence and self-esteem. Time Commitment: The program runs in cohorts and we will begin our next cohort in September 2025. Each triad will aim to meet 6-8 times over two months, making it a flexible and rewarding commitment. We are looking for more volunteers and would love to partner with you on this. If you have any questions or would like to learn more, let’s schedule a call? Together, we can make a difference in the lives of older adults and create lasting memories.
