YES Dyckman
A collaborative intergenerational program to improve the daily lives of our older adults and reduce experiences of isolation and loneliness.
Program Detail
Program participants will include approximately 10 elder adults and 5 youths. GDS staff, GDS volunteers, and Dyckman Senior Center staff will develop, administer and supervise the program. GDS will train the youth participants and volunteers in three weekly training sessions (90 minutes).
